Nginx proxy_pass WordPress to another server

I have to use a proxy_pass because I have a main application on / and I want to run WordPress on another server. This is required because my software has multiple servers (load balancing). So the following situation:

server1.com/ is my app
server2.com/ is my app

server1.com/wordpress proxy_pass to server3/wordpress
server2.com/wordpress proxy_pass to server3/wordpress

This all works, but when I want to login it keeps redirecting me to the login page after logging in.

My config looks like this of nginx:

location /wordpress {
    proxy_pass http://server3.nl:80/wordpress/;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

In my wordpress wp-config.php I had to fix the following lines in order to make this work:

define('WP_HOME','https://maindomain/wordpress/');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://maindomain/wordpress/');

define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);

$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';

Anyone has any idea on how to fix this redirect?

    Try to add one more directive into your config

    proxy_set_header Host      $host;

    If not then i would look into proxy_cookie_path directive.

    I think issue is with cookie domain
