I setup a DigitalOcean Ubuntu 22 droplet to host a docker swarm with containers for a rails app, postgress, and redis. I’m not able to get action cable to work with puma and nginx. I see errors in the browser console for:
WebSocket connection to wss://mydomain.com/cable failed
I followed these guides: Setting up nginx as a reverse proxy: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-on-ubuntu-22-04
Encrypting nginx: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04
My /etc/nginx/sites-available/mydomain.com

I've tried variations on nginx settings I found in other questions, such as the accepted answer for this one: What do I need to do to hook up ActionCable on nginx and puma?
I updated my /etc/nginx/sites-available/mydomain.com This is in the first server section under server_name
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
location /cable {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/cable;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
proxy_redirect off;
}
I also modified my config/production.rb The HOST variable is the domain name of my server.
config.action_cable.url = "wss://#{ENV['HOST']}/cable"
config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins = ["https://#{ENV['HOST']}"]
