I have application running on my AWS EC2 Instance's localhost:8080.
In order to use these Web portal, I have install nginx on EC2 and reversed proxy localhost so that I can access Web UI on my browser.
Nginx.conf file
server {
listen 80;
server_name ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
location /$request_uri {
proxy_pass http://localhost$request_uri;
}
}
When hitting EC2 URL on my browser,I successfully seeing homepage of application.
But when I hit any url let's say /admin, Nginx redirects to my local computer's localhost:8080/admin not Server's localhost. All i want is that when hit any url nginx should forward the request to localhost:8080{$URL} and return me the browser.
please suggest where I'm wrong. Thanks In Advance.
You don't need to add the second location.
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
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;
}
this should be enough to access anything you need.
