the solution @Andrej provided is the correct one except since nginx reverse proxy is trying to connect to nginx inside docker using grpc on a secure port using SSL you should use **grpcs** instead of **grpc**

here is the correct config:

```auto
location /agent. {
    grpc_pass grpcs://managed-grpc;
    client_max_body_size 0;
}
location /inventory. {
    grpc_pass grpcs://managed-grpc;
}
location /management. {
    grpc_pass grpcs://managed-grpc;
}
location /server. {
    grpc_pass grpcs://managed-grpc;
}

```
