Nexus 3 Docker Registry behind Traefik v2 - push fails

My problem is that when running nexus docker container behind a reverse proxy (Traefik v.2 in particular) I can login in to the registry but I cannot push. When I bypass Traefik and talk to Nexus directly, it works.
The issue is described in details in this stack overflow post:

Anyone with a similar problem?
