fix: Make NGINX use X-Forwarded-For headers
When using Kubernetes and nginx-ingress, the first X-Forwarded-For
IP is an internal IP instead of the client IP. This is because the
nginx-ingress controller is deployed as a load balancer in front of
the application, and it adds its own IP address as the first
X-Forwarded-For
header before passing along the request along.
To fix this issue, configure the nginx-ingress controller to use the
client IP address as the first X-Forwarded-For header
by setting the
use-forwarded-headers
annotation to "true". This will cause the
controller to use the X-Real-IP
and X-Forwarded-For
headers that
are included in the original request instead of adding its own IP
address as the first X-Forwarded-For
header.
