Description
Since I've switched to SWAG (from linuxserver.io) for my reverse proxy needs, including managing letsencrypt certificates, I tried to build a proxy configuration file for Datasette. The relevant part of my docker-compose.yml file is
datasette:
image: datasetteproject/datasette
container_name: datasette
ports:
- "8001:8001"
volumes:
- /home/me/Docker/Datasette:/mnt
and the datasette.subdomain.conf file is
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name datasette.*;
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
location {
include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
set $upstream_app datasette;
set $upstream_port 8001;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
}
This sort of setup works fine with some other containers. Note that I have already set up a datasette subdomain with my domain name registrar.
However, my attempts to access the subdomain result in the nginx "502 Bad Gateway" error.
When I investigate swag/keys/cert.crt with openssl, one of the DNS subdomains listed is indeed datasette.mysite.org. (Where mysite.org is the stand in for my real site name.)
Anyway, if anybody has got docker+datasette+SWAG working, I'd love to know how it was done! I installed Datasette locally, and I liked it very much. But I would like to offer the database and its search facilities to others; thus on my remote VPS. Thank you!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the provided docker-compose.yml and datasette.subdomain.conf, then reproduce the 502 Bad Gateway response through the Datasette subdomain. Check the connection between SWAG and the Datasette container; done means the subdomain successfully serves the Datasette instance.
