流星在Nginx Passenger后面获取客户端IP地址

Question

I'm running Meteor behind Nginx with Passenger.

this.connection.clientAddress returns the IP in my dev environment but behind nginx and passenger, it's undefined.

X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; added to the nginx config does not change anything.

Here what I added to my nginx conf:

passenger_set_cgi_param HTTP_FORWARDED_COUNT 1;
passenger_set_cgi_param HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR $remote_addr;

Any idea?

On proxy machine set:

proxy_set_header  X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

On proxied machine add ( Replace 10.0.1.1 with your proxy machine local network IP ):

set_real_ip_from  10.0.1.1;
