I have my maker gateway exposed to the internet. I use a domain name and cert purchased from No-IP, and I have the gateway sitting behind Nginx Proxy Manager. This works fine using my computer's browser but when I try to connect using my iPhone, things fall apart. When I set up the gateway in the app, I get 'valid host' and can see my projects in the list. When I try to launch my project, it hangs up. I never even see the login screen. The project in question is currently set up to use the default user source (for now). I can't seem to figure out why the iPhone won't connect.
I'm pretty green at these technologies (not Ignition/Perspective). Any help would be appreciated.
Have you enabled web socket through nginx?
I did. At first, I couldn't even connect with my browser. I finally figured out that I missed the web sockets toggle. Thanks for checking!
Here’s a bit more detail based on what I’m seeing in the logs:
The Nginx access logs show my iPhone successfully loading various static resources—CSS, fonts, and the initial Perspective page—each returning HTTP 200. Then, when I try to open the project, there’s a 302 redirect to /data/perspective/login/<project>, which I assume is the login page. Everything seems normal on paper, but on the phone itself, the Perspective app (or Safari) never actually displays that login screen—it just hangs.
If anyone has run into a similar situation—where logs look normal, WebSockets are enabled, and yet mobile clients won’t display the login screen—I’d appreciate any advice!
