fix(web): honor X-Forwarded-Proto in uvicorn so request.url is https behind a reverse proxy (#515)
* fix(web): honor X-Forwarded-Proto in uvicorn so request.url is https behind a reverse proxy

## Problem

When Dograh runs behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy (Cloudflare →
Traefik in Kubernetes, nginx in the docker-compose install), the inside
of the cluster/host is plain HTTP. Uvicorn defaults to trusting
`scope["scheme"]` from the socket, so `request.url.scheme` reads `http`
even though the client dialed `https`.

That breaks any code path that hashes or echoes the request URL back to
the caller. Concrete symptom seen in production: **Vobiz inbound webhook
signatures fail with "signature validation failed for vobiz"** because
Vobiz computes HMAC over the URL it dialed (`https://.../inbound/run`)
while Dograh recomputes it as `http://...`.  Log excerpt from the
failing call:

```
WARNING | provider.py | Vobiz webhook signature mismatch.
         Expected: daOpAZPm..., Got: 1+eW/RxE...
WARNING | telephony.py | /inbound/run: signature validation failed for vobiz
```

Twilio, Plivo and any other provider that signs over the callback URL
have the same failure mode when Dograh is deployed behind a proxy.

## Fix

Start uvicorn with `--proxy-headers --forwarded-allow-ips="*"` in
`scripts/run_web.sh`. Uvicorn rewrites `scope["scheme"]` and client
address from `X-Forwarded-Proto` / `X-Forwarded-For` when the request
originates from a trusted upstream — Traefik and Cloudflare set both
correctly, so `request.url.scheme == "https"` inside the app once again
and provider signature checks pass.

Verified end-to-end on a production k3s install (Traefik + Cloudflare
edge → dograh-web pod) — after the change, the very next Vobiz inbound
webhook validated successfully and the call connected past the previous
11-second signature-failure hangup.

* address review: let operators narrow FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS

Both bot reviewers on #515 flagged `--forwarded-allow-ips="*"` as a
defence-in-depth concern: if uvicorn is directly reachable from an
untrusted network (bypassing the proxy), any client can spoof
`X-Forwarded-Proto` / `X-Forwarded-For`, and uvicorn will rewrite
`request.client` / `request.url` from those attacker-controlled headers.

Fix: consume `FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS` from the environment (uvicorn already
recognizes this env var; see `deploy/hostinger/docker-compose.yaml:179`
for the existing precedent). Default stays `"*"` so the behavior of the
original fix is preserved for the standard docker-compose / helm layouts
where the app pod is only reachable via the proxy Service. Operators
who terminate uvicorn on a host that's also reachable directly can
narrow it to the proxy CIDR:

  FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS="10.42.0.0/16" ./scripts/run_web.sh

* address review: declare FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS in the helm chart, not the script

uvicorn already enables proxy-header handling by default and falls back to
the FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS env var when --forwarded-allow-ips is absent, so the
CLI flags were redundant and the script-level "*" default hid a
security-relevant trust decision away from operators. Drop the flags, keep
run_web.sh deployment-agnostic, and declare the env var where the other
deployment config lives — web.forwardedAllowIps in values.yaml (default "*",
narrowable to a proxy CIDR) — mirroring how docker-compose already sets it
on the api service.

🚀 Get Started

Download and setup Dograh on your Local Machine

Note

We collect anonymous usage data to improve the product. You can opt out by setting ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false before running the startup script.

Note

If you wish to run the platform on a remote server instead, checkout our Documentation

curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/docker-compose.yaml && curl -o start_docker.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/scripts/start_docker.sh && chmod +x start_docker.sh && ./start_docker.sh

Prefer an AI agent to set it up for you? If you use Claude Code or Codex, install the official Dograh setup skill and let your agent handle installation, configuration, and troubleshooting — it detects your OS, picks the right deploy path, runs Dograh's own setup scripts, and verifies the result.

# In Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add dograh-hq/dograh-plugins
/plugin install dograh@dograh

Then start a new session and ask it to "set up Dograh" (or run /dograh-setup). Codex is supported too — see the plugin repo.

Note

First startup may take 2-3 minutes to download all images. Once running, open http://localhost:3010 to create your first AI voice assistant! For common issues and solutions, see 🔧 Troubleshooting.

🎙️ Your First Voice Bot
