I'd like to reverse proxy my application under server.com/myapp/homem where server.com/myapp is the proxied address and /home is an URL handled by my app.
What is the best / recommended solution to do that so that the app will generate proper paths<img src="/myapp/static/...">
Which of the two following approaches I should take:
1. X-Forwarded-Path: I proxy GET Path=/home and add an X-Forwarded-Path: /myapp
2. Base_url set in config: I proxy GET Path=/myapp/home and set base_url = server.com/myapp
The nginx rewrite directive can handle what you are looking for
You server block should look similar to the following snippet
server {
listen 80;
rewrite ^/myapp/(.*)$ /$1 last;
location /home {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Path myapp;
proxy_pass http://1.2.3.4;
}
}
Take a look at either of the following for more information
