I'd like to have nginx handle requests to a specific directory by checking to see if that path/file exists in several separate directories. For example, if my directory root had the following:
images/siteA/foo.jpg
images/siteB/b/bar.jpg
images/siteC/example.jpg
I'd like http://example.com/images/foo.jpg
to return the file foo.jpg
, http://example.com/b/bar.jpg
to return the file bar.jpg
and so fourth.
I've tried the following, but it just gets locked in redirect loops (and I don't want it to redirect, but actually serve the file to that URL):
location /images/ {
try_files /siteA/images/
/siteB/images/
/siteC/images/ =404;
}
I've also tried using capture groups like location ~/images/(.*)/
and adding $1
to the end of the URLs. I'm a little confused on the documentation and unsure how to accomplish this with nginx.
