A 502 error from nginx indicates that the proxy server was unable to establish a connection to a local component on another port, either grafana or the backend.

The most common reason is a firewall issue, especially SELINUX

Check to see if the firewall on the Linux machine is blocking traffic on the port you are trying to connect to.
