Is there a basic configuration for using nginx with kibana as a reverse proxy server.

Here is my configuration:

server {  
listen 80 default\_server;  
listen [::]:80 default\_server;  
server\_name \_;  
return 301 https://$host$request\_uri;  
}

upstream websocket {  
server 127.0.0.1:80;  
}

server {  
listen 443 ssl;  
server\_name my\_server;

```
auth_basic "Restricted Access";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd.users;

```

location /kibana {  
rewrite ^/kibana/(.\*)$ /$1 break;  
proxy\_pass [http://127.0.0.1:5601](http://127.0.0.1:5601);  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_set\_header Upgrade $http\_upgrade;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection 'upgrade';  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_cache\_bypass $http\_upgrade;  
}

No matter what i try it just wont work.
