Spotweb as indexer - nginx reverse proxies

[suikerchiller]

Hi there,

I’m trying to add Spotweb as an indexer for Sonarr. I’m trying to add it as a “Newznab - custom” with the following values:

Name: Spotweb
url: http://localhost/spotweb
api: xxxxx

I’m running both sonarr and spotweb as reverse proxies in nginx. Below is my nginx config:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;

    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

    root /var/www;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    server_name localhost;
}

server {
    listen 443 default ssl;
    server_name server.mydomain.com;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf;

    root /var/www;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;

    if ( $scheme = http )
    {
    rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

location /spotweb {
    alias /var/www/spotweb;
    index index.php;   
    rewrite /api/?$ /spotweb/index.php?page=newznabapi last;
}

location /sonarr {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8989/sonarr;
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/auth-basic.conf;
    proxy_set_header Host localhost:8989;
}

Unfortunately it’s not working, as I’m getting the following error when I try to add the indexer: “Unable to connect to indexer, check the log for more details”. This is the log output:

HttpClient warning:

HTTP Error - Res: [GET] http://localhost/spotweb/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5030,5040&extended=1&apikey=<removed>&offset=0&limit=100 : 401.Unauthorized

Newznab warning:

NzbDroneErrorPipeline warning:

Sonarr doesn’t seem to be able to pass the basic authentication, hence the 401. Any idea how I can disable the basic auth in nginx specifically for sonarr when it tries to interact with spotweb? Or is there another solution to this problem? Many thanks in advance!
