Deployment with HTTPS

It is common and useful to deploy your SQLAdmin or FastAPI/Starlette application behind a reverse proxy like Nginx and enable HTTPS on the reverse proxy.

Running the app locally you would not face any issues but with HTTPS enabled behind the reverse proxy you might see errors like this in your browser developer console:

Mixed Content: The page at '<URL>' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure script '<URL>'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

This means the CSS and Javascript files for the Admin were not loaded properly. This is not exactly related to the SQLAdmin but more related to how you are deploying your project.

For example if you are using Uvicorn as your ASGI server you can add the following options to solve this issue:

• --forwarded-allow-ips='*'
• --proxy-headers

So it would be :

uvicorn <module>:<app> --forwarded-allow-ips='*' --proxy-headers

You can find more information and full docs for this at Uvicorn website here at running behind nginx.
