How to setup a reverse proxy using nginx?
Solution 1:
I'm not sure this is the correct syntax. Try something like that:
upstream myupstream {
server 127.0.0.1:8080 fail_timeout=2s;
keepalive 32;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://myupstream;
proxy_redirect http://myupstream/ /;
}
something along these lines..
But if you just want to redirect port 8080 to 80 why not use a network utility like socat?
Then you should add virtualhosts in nginx for each upstream, and add those virtualhosts in DNS or /etc/hosts, which will all resolve to localhost.
Or you can just avoid the upstream and use virtualhosts like so:
server {
listen 80;
server_name myvirtualhost1.local;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name myvirtualhost2.local;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9090;
}
