Reverse proxy usecase

This article covers how to use a reverse proxy for your Crisp Helpdesk. A reverse proxy can be used in multiple use cases:

Using Crisp Helpdesk under a custom page
Using Crisp Helpdesk on a custom IP or custom server
Using Crisp Helpdesk in countries where Crisp is unavailable because blocked by Governments (ie: Russia, China)

Solution

The solution is to use a reverse proxy. The following example shows how to use a Nging Reverse proxy. The same solution could be achieved by using Apache, or HAProxy.

location / {
proxy_pass https://MY_CRISP_HELPDESK.crisp.help;

proxy_http_version 1.1;

proxy_intercept_errors on;
}

Note: If you want to host Crisp on a custom page, replace / with /yourpage
