could not add path via nginx reverse proxy

[smilence86]

I don't want to use subdomain to serve it, instead add a custom path into url, such as https://example.com/share.

my nginx config is looks like:

location /share/ {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
}

location /_h5ai/ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/h5ai;
}

It won't show files in browser, what am I wrong or something missing? please help me.

Hi,

I think you can get that by the following configs.

location /share {
    return 301 $scheme://$host/dokuwiki/;
}

location ^~ /share/ {
    proxy_read_timeout 60m;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_pass $http://127.0.0.1:8000;

    rewrite /share(.*) $1 break;
}

You don't need to add location /_h5ai/ in your reverse proxy configure because as we know the docker app creates a web server independently.

Not tested, sorry, but it is worth trying.

Seems not work, some static files are 404 error:

Something Need explain further, The port 8000 is h5ai listening by docker container, There are few other services running behind nginx as well:

location /speedtest/ {
        auth_basic "input password";
	auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/conf.d/pwd.db;
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
	proxy_redirect off;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8686/;
}

location /adg/ {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
	proxy_redirect off;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
}

location /wireguard/ {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
	proxy_redirect off;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:51821/;
}

I want to use one domain cert to manager all services by tls.

[Deokgyu Yang]

Ah, you were right, seems we need to specify a location for _h5ai directory.

Then how about adding this one?

location ^~ /share/_h5ai {
    proxy_read_timeout 60m;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_pass $http://127.0.0.1:8000;

    rewrite /share(.*) $1 break;
}

Maybe rewrite is not needed.. But don't know.

If you can't get even with the new configuration, I will test it on my side soon.

[smilence86]

Also 404

location ^~ /share/ {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
		proxy_set_header Host $host;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
	}

    location ^~ /share/_h5ai {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;

        rewrite /share(.*) $1 break;
    }

[Deokgyu Yang]

Sorry, for the last try, how about this one?

    location ^~ /share/_h5ai {
        proxy_read_timeout 60m;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/_h5ai;

        rewrite /share(.*) $1 break;
    }

I appended /_h5ai to the proxy_pass property.

not work, 404.

[Deokgyu Yang]

Will test on my side 😅

[smilence86]

Will test on my side sweat_smile

Thanks for your help.

[smilence86]

Hello, any updates for this?

[Deokgyu Yang]

Hi,

I tried but couldn't succeed yet. I think it is very difficult because each URL indicates each file, and this is managed by a PHP index file under /_h5ai directory.
Sorry, 😅
Anyone who can know how to this configure?

[smilence86]

Okay, Thanks, I'll use subdomain first before that could work.
