Use NGINX to map "directories" to applications

  • 772

I'm not sure if my terminology is correct, so let me explain ...

If I have a domain, test.example.com, I want to be able to map /abc to an application on that server running on port 8080 and map another application /def to an application running on port 8081.

I've tried it with RabbitMQ which I'm running inside docker and exposing port 15672, NGINX however is not inside Docker and running directly on the machine.

docker run -d --hostname rabbitmq --name rabbitmq -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management

Whether it's running inside Docker or directly on the machine, I believe is irrelevant, I have an application running on port 15672 that I want to map to location /rabbitmq

My NGINX config I've tried so far:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name test.example.com;

        location /rabbitmq {
                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:15672;
        }
}

When going to test.example.com/rabbitmq I'm seeing the following:

enter image description here

I don't know if that's NGINX's page or RabbitMQ's page showing not found.

Opening port 15672 on the server I can clearly get to RabbitMQ

And going to :15672/blah it seems to be the same not-found page, so it must be getting to RabbitMQ.

RabbitMQ is listening on 0.0.0.0:15672, so it should work from any domain, host or ip.

So how do I make test.example.com/rabbitmq actually serve the content of test.example.com:15672 ?

nginx

    I got it working using a rewrite:

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name test.example.com;

        location /rabbitmq {
                rewrite         /rabbitmq/(.*) /$1 break;
                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:15672;
                proxy_redirect  off;
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
}

  2. server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 default_server ssl;
    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/1_www.danielecencig.com_bundle.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl.key;
    server_name www.danielecencig.com; 
    root /www/public;

    rewrite  ^/$  /index.html  permanent;

    location / {
        root /www/public;
        try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html =404;
    }

    location /SienaBikes {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }

    error_page 503 /error/maintenance.html;
        location ^~ /error/ {
        internal;
        root /www/public;
    } 
}

    This is my nginx config; i'm using it aswell as a reverse proxy, but for my node app. "location /SienaBikes" is the nodejs app and it works properly for me.

    One thing that I did (But I don't know if it applies for rabbitmq as well) is to install PM2 Daemon and run my node app as a process. Perhaps you need to do it as well or something along the lines.

  3. Your NGINX config is fine just need to rewrite location mapping like below.

    server {

        listen 80;
        server_name test.example.com;

        location /rabbitmq/ {
                proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:15672;
        }
}
