With ‘overwriteprotocol’ **not** set to ‘https’ don’t you then suffer from a problem whereby users cannot change their passwords?

> Hello! I am new to nextcloud and really liking the project. I tried to deploy the reference docker-compose project with letsencrypt and setup gmail smtp to onboard new user. reference deployment: But, when the first new user clicks on “set your password” the reset password page is giving me “Network Error” when I tried to reset the password. What is the issue here? I had taken a screenshot below. Thanks for help.

I’m working with a setup where the public address is through a tunnel that takes care of the https security certs etc and initially I could also access over the local LAN with http. But, in order to solve the password issue when users connect over the public tunnel, I enabled the overwriteprotocol =\> https which disables access over the local lan.

Seems like a catch 22.
