python - django-allauth: how to modify email confirmation url?

Question

I'm running django on port 8001, while nginx is handling webserver duties on port 80. nginx proxies views and some REST api calls to Django. I'm using django-allauth for user registration/authentication.

When a new user registers, django-allauth sends the user an email with a link to click. Because django is running on port 8001, the link looks like http://machine-hostname:8001/accounts/confirm-email/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How can I make the url look like http://www.example.com/accounts/confirm-email/xxxxxxxx ?

Thanks!

Django get hostname and port from HTTP headers. Add proxy_set_header Host $http_host; into your nginx configuration before options proxy_pass.
