Cloudflare 522 with Nginx Proxy Manager
A short checklist for a Cloudflare 522 timeout when Cloudflare cannot complete a timely origin connection.
First checks
- Check origin CPU, memory, container health, and whether the app responds locally on the expected port.
- Confirm the Nginx Proxy Manager forward host, forward port, and network reachability from the proxy container.
- Review firewall, provider security group, and reverse proxy timeout settings before changing DNS again.
- Test a simple health endpoint through Cloudflare and directly at the origin where possible.
