Rancher Installation Issue

I did install rancher with:

docker run -d --restart=always -p 8000:8080 --name=rancher-server \
-e "CATTLE_API_ALLOW_CLIENT_OVERRIDE=true" \
-e "CATTLE_HOST_API_PROXY_SCHEME=wss" rancher/server

and then proxied it from another NGINX server with:

upstream rancher {
    server rancher-server:8000;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name rancher.domain.tld;
    ssl_certificate /data/ssl/domain.tld.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /data/ssl/domain.tld.key;

    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_buffer_size 512;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-API-request-url $scheme://<host>$request_uri;
        proxy_pass http://rancher;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name rancher.domain.tld;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

I then had this error in the chrome console when I accessed rancher.domain.tld:

OPTIONS https://%3Chost%3E/v1/projects?all=true&limit=1000 net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

and the logs were full with:

time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=info msg="Starting go-machine-service..." gitcommit=102d311 
time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=error msg="Unable to create EventRouter" Err="Get https://<host>/v1/schemas: dial tcp: lookup <host>: no such host" 
time="2015-07-18T11:38:33Z" level=info msg="Exiting go-machine-service..." 

I could fix this by replacing <host> with my hostname.

But now I got 2 different additional issues now. I am getting this error in the rancher-server console when I select the standard “rancher.mydomain.tld” as Host Registration:

time="2015-07-18T14:50:58Z" level=error msg="Unable to start EventRouter" Err="websocket: bad handshake" 
time="2015-07-18T14:50:58Z" level=info msg="Exiting go-machine-service..."

Problem = Not using HTTPS

This happens about 2 times every second.

This error doesn’t come up when I don’t select the standard rancher.mydomain.tld and instead manually put https://rancher.mydomain.tld into the Host Registration. Instead this one is showing in the rancher-agent console:

Problem = wss://https://

That is why I am kind of in a dilemma because no matter what I do, there will occur an error on one of the both sides rancher-server and rancher-agent.

Has anybody an idea on how to fix this?
