If you tried to install fresh vRO 8 and get Bad Gateway , have a look if you are affected by the password issue/bug.
if you would login to your vRO appliance, you could see messages about bad password
kubectl -n prelude logs vco-app- -c install-rpms
you get you vco-app-(pod name) by checking
kubectl get pods –all-namespaces | grep vco-app
prelude vco-app-f74ddf657-2m54n
so you pod name is “vco-app-f74ddf657-2m54n” in that case
so in this case you would check your logs using
kubectl -n prelude logs vco-app-f74ddf657-2m54n -c install-rpms
if this is the same issue, you should see similar things to
Start vRO initial install and configuration

Give it a try KB: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76870
It helped in my case (manual installation).
