Trying to reverse proxy with nginx. I have a server which is hosting docker containers. One of them is hosting an Angular app (http). I setup my router to port forward to the host. The hosts forwards the port to the docker container. This does not involve nginx. This works. Then, I try to let nginx to act as reverse proxy. nginx is using certificates (generated with certbot, all straight forward). First step, let the server block show set a root and show some welcome page. location /projects-admin/ { alias /var/www/html/; index index.html; } when I browse to the server (https://mysupersecureserver/projects-admin) this shows my "hello world" page. Now, all I want to do is let it proxy pass to the localhost port which will be forwarded to my docker container. location /projects-admin/ { # rewrite ^/projects-admin/(/.*)$ $1 break; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8090/; proxy_set_header Host $host; # proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; # proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; # proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } But whatever I try (note all the commented lines), it keeps complaining about the same thing in the logs 2025/02/13 21:21:29 [error] 3626613#3626613: *1 open() "/usr/share/nginx/html/main.ac74cc2fb07d40a2.js" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: xxxxxxxxx, server: xxxxxxxx, request: "GET /main.ac74cc2fb07d40a2.js HTTP/1.1", host: "xxxxxxxxx", referrer: "xxxxxxxx/projects-admin/" I left out my real ip address and real dns name (xxxxxxx), because it's all kind of open at the moment for testing purposes. Anyway, I am a bit thrown off by the error, because it's the exact correct location inside the docker container, the files it tries to resolve are there! Am I missing something really obvious here? Really hope something can point me in the right direction Continue reading...
