Description

Hi there
I just created a very simple project and dockerize it with docker-compose:

version: "3.8"

services:
  backend:
    build:
      context: .
    command: >
      /bin/sh -c "
      python manage.py migrate &&
      python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000"
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    expose:
      - 8000

  proxy:
    image: nginx
    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: ./proxy/nginx.conf
        target: /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
        read_only: true
    ports:
      - 80:80
    depends_on: 
      - backend

And this is the proxy/nginx.conf:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;
    location / {
        proxy_pass          http://backend:8000;
        proxy_http_version  1.1;
    }

}

And the Dockerfile:

FROM python:3
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
COPY ./requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .

There is Django==4.2.5 in requirements.txt and django itself is just super basic and just ALLOWED_HOSTS sets to all.
By running the docker-compose the django can be accessed from port 8000 and 80 by nginx.
The problem is when going to admin panel and send a post request to login, it returns

Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Reason given for failure:
    Origin checking failed - http://127.0.0.1 does not match any trusted origins.

and it can't go away with any trick. I also get this in drf and i tried adding CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS, CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS and even commented the csrf middleware, but nothing changed.

As soon as i changed the django version to 3.2 the error is fixed

You've not explained why Django is at fault. Perhaps the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS changes in Django 4.0 are relevant. See TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels if you need help debugging your issue, and reopen if you can explain why Django is at fault.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
