Description

I have set up the webinterface behind an Nginx reverse proxy, as shown here: https://docs.gitea.com/administration/reverse-proxies
I have also set up logging in the app.ini.

When an outside IP address tries to reach the webinterface, the log file only shows the IP address of the reverse proxy and not the IP of the requestor
The expectation is that X-Real-IP would be shown in the logfile.

Gitea Version

1.21.2

Can you reproduce the bug on the Gitea demo site?

No

Have you set REVERSE_PROXY_TRUSTED_PROXIES ? See the document.

@wxiaoguang No, that was not set. Setting it now shows the correct IP in the logfile, thanks!
