Description

I use nginx inside Docker containers and I also use a Docker container for reverse proxy which then forwards requests to those other Docker containers. Because I would like to be able to specify move containers around and change their internal IPs, I am looking into how to configure nginx inside Docker containers with a hostname for set_real_ip_from, so that as the reverse proxy moves around, its correct internal IP is used.

It seems this could be resolved by allowing variables inside set_real_ip_from. Or by simply allowing hostnames for set_real_ip_from.
