    upstream app1 {
        server 127.0.0.1:4443;
    }


    server {
        listen 0.0.0.0:443;

}

This is my nginx configuration. This is part of a docker-compose setup. I proxy requests sent to https://hostname to the app1 container successfully.

Now my goal is to send requests sent to https://X.hostname to the app1 container, however to a different path.

For example:

Client sends request to https://A.hostname Nginx forwards it to https://app1/my/path/

However the path is not being preserved, it's just forwarding it to https://app1 Tried many different solutions available online, and none worked.
