I did install rancher with:

```auto
docker run -d --restart=always -p 8000:8080 --name=rancher-server \
-e "CATTLE_API_ALLOW_CLIENT_OVERRIDE=true" \
-e "CATTLE_HOST_API_PROXY_SCHEME=wss" rancher/server

```

and then proxied it from another NGINX server with:

```auto
upstream rancher {
    server rancher-server:8000;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name rancher.domain.tld;
    ssl_certificate /data/ssl/domain.tld.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /data/ssl/domain.tld.key;

    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_buffer_size 512;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-API-request-url $scheme://<host>$request_uri;
        proxy_pass http://rancher;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name rancher.domain.tld;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

```

I then had this error in the chrome console when I accessed **rancher.domain.tld:**

```auto
OPTIONS https://%3Chost%3E/v1/projects?all=true&limit=1000 net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

```

and the logs were full with:

```auto
time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=info msg="Starting go-machine-service..." gitcommit=102d311 
time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=error msg="Unable to create EventRouter" Err="Get https://<host>/v1/schemas: dial tcp: lookup <host>: no such host" 
time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=info msg="Exiting go-machine-service..." 

```

I could fix this by replacing `<host>` with my hostname.

But now I got 2 different additional issues now. I am getting this error in the **rancher-server** console when I select the standard “rancher.mydomain.tld” as Host Registration:

```auto
time="2015-07-18T14:50:58Z" level=error msg="Unable to start EventRouter" Err="websocket: bad handshake" 
time="2015-07-18T14:50:58Z" level=info msg="Exiting go-machine-service..." 
time="2015-07-18T14:50:59Z" level=info msg="Setting log level" logLevel=info

time="2015-07-18T14:50:59Z" level=info msg="Initializing event router" workerCount=10 
time="2015-07-18T14:51:00Z" level=error msg="Failed to subscribe to events." error="websocket: bad handshake" subscribeUrl="ws://rancher.mydomain.tld/v1/subscribe?eventNames=physicalhost.create%3Bhandler%3DgoMachineService&eventNames=physicalhost.bootstrap%3Bhandler%3DgoMachineService&eventNames=physicalhost.remove%3Bhandler%3DgoMachineService&eventNames=ping%3Bhandler%3DgoMachineService"

```

Problem = Not using HTTPS

This happens about 2 times every second.

This error doesn’t come up when I don’t select the standard **rancher.mydomain.tld** and instead manually put **[https://rancher.mydomain.tld](https://rancher.mydomain.tld)** into the Host Registration. Instead this one is showing in the **rancher-agent** console:

```auto

time="2015-07-18T14:59:43Z" level="info" msg="Watching state directory: /var/lib/rancher/state/containers"

```

Problem = `wss://https://`

That is why I am kind of in a dilemma because no matter what I do, there will occur an error on one of the both sides **rancher-server** and **rancher-agent**.

Has anybody an idea on how to fix this?

@ApfelUser I’ve responded to the github issues you submitted. Rather than duplicate my response, I’ll just ask you to take a look at the github issue.
