What happened?

I'm running the latest docker version (2.26.3) behind nginx reverse proxy accessible on a custom port (neither 80 nor 443). Everything is working as expected, with the exception of the RSS Feed generated by audiobookshelf, because it doesn't contain the custom port.

For example, assume I run the server behind a reverse proxy on address abs.com and port 1443. Everything runs fine when accessing https://abs.com:1443, either locally or outside my home network as I expose port 1443 on my router. However, the RSS feed is generated with the base address without the custom port (I've redacted some data for privacy and I'm not inserting the whole file as it's over 2MB):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" xmlns:podcast="https://podcastindex.org/namespace/1.0" xmlns:googleplay="http://www.google.com/schemas/play-podcasts/1.0">

" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/> (... etc)

I've tried my best to edit the markup in order for it to be readable with the relevant links clearly visible.

Without the port, as port 443 and 80 are not open in my setup (due to my ISP restrictions), the RSS feed is completely unusable.

My docker Compose file:

services:
  audiobookshelf:
    container_name: audiobookshelf
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf:latest
    ports:
      - 13378:1443
    volumes:
      - /mnt/media/audio/audiobooks:/audiobooks
      - /mnt/media/audio/podcasts:/podcasts
      - /etc/audiobookshelf:/config
      - /mnt/media/audio/metadata:/metadata
    environment:
      - TZ=America/Sao_Paulo
      - PORT=1443

What did you expect to happen?

The RSS feed should've been generated with the custom port I'm using to access audiobookshelf (in the case, :1443):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" xmlns:podcast="https://podcastindex.org/namespace/1.0" xmlns:googleplay="http://www.google.com/schemas/play-podcasts/1.0">

" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/> (... etc)

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Configure a different custom port on the reverse proxy (in my case, nginx)
  2. Access Audiobookshelf via the custom address with custom port
  3. Access a Podcast on Audiobookshelf and open a RSS Feed
  4. Open the RSS on a browser or file editor
  5. The custom port is not present on any links, which makes the RSS feed unusable, as neither port 443 nor 80 is not open

Make sure your reverse proxy is set up to pass the port to ABS. For example, in nginx, you need to use the $http_host instead of just $host.

This is done as below and is included in the project readme:
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

You will need to determine how to do this for your specific reverse proxy if you are not using nginx.

Thanks, @nichwall . I've been looking on the issues for the past 3 hours and somehow the search results never showed me #3809 .

After configuring the Host header, everything's working.
