Chef infers its hostname from HTTP Headers, so you just need to make sure 
nginx is setting them. We use:

  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;



There's a different header to set the hostname that's a bit more pedantically 
correct, something like X-Forwarded-Host, but the above works for us.

It will be the same as wiki.opscode.com, but different than 
community.opscode.com
