Proxy requires shared settings

I just tried using reverse-proxy for the first time, with these settings:

  proxy: {
    domains: 'coauthor2.csail.mit.edu',
    ssl: {
      crt: '....pem',
      key: '....key',
      forceSSL: true,
    },
  },

Here’s the error message I got during mup setup:

Started TaskList: Start proxy
[coauthor2.csail.mit.edu] - Start proxy
[coauthor2.csail.mit.edu] x Start proxy: FAILED

        -----------------------------------STDERR-----------------------------------
        config/start.sh: line 7: /opt/mup-nginx-proxy/config/shared-config.sh: No such file or directory
        Error response from daemon: No such container: mup-nginx-proxy
        Error response from daemon: endpoint mup-nginx-proxy not found
        Error response from daemon: No such container: mup-nginx-proxy-letsencrypt

        docker: open /opt/mup-nginx-proxy/config/env.list: no such file or directory.
        See 'docker run --help'.

The fix was simple: add shared settings under proxy (and then run mup proxy reconfig-shared – this doesn’t seem to be implied by mup setup which was also confusing):

  proxy: {
    domains: 'coauthor2.csail.mit.edu',
    ssl: {
      crt: '....pem',
      key: '....key',
      forceSSL: true,
    },
    shared: {
      clientUploadLimit: '0', // disable upload limit
    },
  },

I wanted to disable the clientUploadLimit anyway, so this is fine for my purposes, but maybe you want to avoid crashing when there’s no shared, as the documentation calls it “Advanced configuration”.

for me i ran # netstat -tulpn | grep :80 to see what’s running on port 80…it was apache2, so i ran sudo service stop apache2…from there mup setup worked fine

Thanks, @john-guerra! All the documentation I saw (especially Meteor Up SSL Docs) seemed to want me to run mup setup AND THEN mup reconfig. I guess running those in reverse order shook things loose.
