Hi there @Xunne,

It sounds like that your Nginx server block does not include your www. version, can you share the content of the config file here?

It is stored at:

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yourdomain.conf

If this is the case, you need to edit that file, add the www version of your site to the server_name list and then restart Nginx.

Let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Bobby

      Hi there @Xunne,

      This indeed looks correct. What I could suggest is keeping a CNAME record for your www version to point to your non-www version.

      Besides that, I would also suggest checking your Docker logs to see if there are any errors that could point you to the right direction.

      First, find your Docker container ID:

      • sudo docker ps

      Then get your container ID and run the following command to see your container logs:

      • sudo docker logs -f container_id

      After that visit your website via www and check the logs again.

      Let me know how it goes and feel free to share the output here.
      Regards,
      Bobby

          Hi there @Xunne,

          I can’t see anything that could be causing the error. One thing that comes to my mind is that once you’ve made the DNS change it could take up to 24-48 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the Globe before you could see the changes.

          Are you still seeing that error when visiting your www version?

          If so, when you ping your domain.com and then www.yourdomain.com do you get the same IP address back?

          Regards,
          Bobby

            Hi there @Xunne,

            Is the 503 error a Cloudflare error or is this an Nginx error that you are seeing?

            Also as you are using Cloudflare, can you set your www version as a CNAME record and point it to your main domain under your Cloudflare DNS.

            On your server, can you run the following command and share the output here:

            sudo netstat -plant | grep LISTEN

            Regards,
            Bobby

Hi! I was having the same issue and i found this post through google.
I have found a way to make it work but it’s not the correct one. I will give my way and hope someone can help us both fix it haha.

I am running a docker compose file in my raspberry pi to host my domain’s website + let’s encrypt certificates.
The docker compose file has the budry/jwilder-nginx-proxy-arm, duch/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion:stable and nginx images (the full compose file is from a spanish youtuber hosted in https://github.com/pablokbs/peladonerd/blob/master/raspi/7/docker-compose.yaml ).

What I did was run the compose, copy the /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf from the nginx_proxy container to the pi with the command
docker cp containerid:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf .

edit it with vim or nano and add the www.domain.com next to my domain.com in both server_name lines in the file and copy the file back to the container. Then enter into the container with the command
docker exec -it containerid /bin/bash

and once inside the container I run the command
nginx -s reload

Then i checked the www.domain.com and worked perfectly.
The only problem now is that this change isn’t persistent and when I run the docker compose file again, the /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf gets rewritten and the www.domain.com isn’t next to the domain.com in the servername line. Do you think how can i make docker nginxproxy file not rewrite it? It might be the solution for the both of us hopefully.

Thanks and hope it works with you as well!
