nginx reverse proxy for application - nginx

I use nginx for reverse proxy with domain name. I've some application publish on IIS and i want to proxy different location name for each application.
For example;
Domain name on nginx :
example.com.tr
application end points for app:
1.1.1.1:10
1.1.1.2:10
upstream for app in nginx.conf:
upstream app_1 {
least_conn;
server 1.1.1.1:10;
server 1.1.1.2:10;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com.tr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
ssl_certificate /etc/cert.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/cert.key;
location /app_1/ {
proxy_pass http://app_1/;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-REAL-SCHEME $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
access_log /etc/nginx/log/access.log;
error_log /etc/nginx/log/error.log;
}
}
When I try to access example.com.tr/app_1/ , I can access application but not all data.
I inspected this site and so many requests of application were failed.
All requests sended to example.com.tr/uri instead of example.com.tr/app_1/uri. How can I fix this ?
thanks,

You need a transparent path proxy setup. Means NGINX should use the requested URI without removing the matched location from it.
proxy_pass http://app_1;
Remove the tailing slash to tell NGINX not to do so. Using an upstream definition is great but make sure you apply keepalive.

Replace Resources with Nginx Reverse Proxy

English is not my native language, so I use a translator. My questions may be a little difficult to understand, I hope you can understand.
I want to access B.com, but B.com is blocked and I can't access it directly. So I set up a reverse proxy server.
A.com points to my reverse proxy server, while B.com points to the source server.
My reverse proxy server is configured like this.
server
{
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name A.com;
location /
{
proxy_pass https://B.com;
proxy_set_header Host B.com;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header REMOTE-HOST $remote_addr;
}
*other configurations*
}
However, some of the resources on the page are from www.B.com and are also blocked. So I added the following configuration.
sub_filter "B.com" "A.com";
sub_filter_types *;
sub_filter_once off;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
This successfully replaced most of the content, but some of it did not. What should I do? Please help me ;(

nginx setting up two subdomains with https and http not working

I have two sites to be used on my server load balancing them using nginx. First one www.something.club and other one is extras.something.club. The first one has https and http setup already, while extras.something.club I'm yet to set up https certs, so just need http.
The problem here is when I hit extras.something.club it opens same page as www.something.club and plus redirects to https://extras.something.club. Here the page should load extra.something.club owns page, and I do not nee https since certificate is of www, it starts giving me warning anyway. Below are the configurations I'm using.
www.something.com has file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/web.conf and has symlink at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/web.conf. Below is config:
upstream webapp {
server 123.123.0.12:8080;
server 123.234.0.18:8080;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.something.club;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.something.club;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.something.club/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.something.club/privkey.pem;
# skipping some more ssl settings.
access_log /var/log/nginx/web.access.log;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";
location / {
proxy_pass http://webapp;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
extras.something.com has file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/extras.conf and has symlink at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/extras.conf
upstream extraswebapp {
server 123.123.0.12:8081;
server 123.234.0.18:8081;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name extras.something.club;
access_log /var/log/nginx/web.access.log;
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000";
location / {
proxy_pass http://extraswebapp;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
I have verified this config with many sample available on various websites + documents. I was not able to locate anything wrong in this. Plus there nothing in code which redirects http to https for extra.something.club Plus if I access direct IPs with those port, it works perfectly fine & doesn't redirect to https as Nginx does.
Can somebody please help me to locate the problem?

Reverse proxy with nginx

I want to use reverse proxy with nginx to redirect/translate IP and port to some other IP and port. I was able to do that using the following code snippet inside http block of nginx.conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name 13.88.1.1;
location / {
proxy_pass http://13.68.1.1:8888/;
index index.html index.htm;
} # end location
} # end server
Now the problem is that this is only usable for http requests. I have a scenario where I need to run an executable like 'uw.exe 13.88.1.1:80'. This is getting translated to 'uw.exe http://13.68.1.1:8888' but I want it to get translated to 'uw.exe 13.68.1.1:8888'. That is without the http because my app won't work with http. Does anybody know any simple solution to do that, preferably with nginx itself?
Update: This is no longer needed and cannot test it anymore. Thanks guys for chiming in. :)
Try this nginx configuration:
server {
listen 80;
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Connection '';
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://13.88.1.1:8888/;
}
}

Nginx wildcard reverse proxy to same name

I want nginx to take any requests from *.example.com and send them to the same name (*.example.com), just using nginx for SSL, and so that I can externally use my local DNS.
server {
listen *:80;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name *.whitefamilyserver.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://$host; # (host will normally be subdomain.example.com)
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
So if someone went to test.example.com, it would forward it to test.example.com (but since this is running from inside my home network, it will use the local DNS to resolve the client).

Can NGINX work as Webserver and Proxy Server At Same Time?

We have a situation where we need to serve the login page from server_A (NGINX), get the user authenticated from here and once authenticated route the request ta a page which resides in a different server i.e. Server_B. All subsequent requests will come to Server_A and it will first check the user and session validity and then route to Server_B. This way the session and security is maintained by server A and rest of the work is done by server B.
My question here is that can we acheive this from NGINX server ?
My question here is that can we acheive this from NGINX server ?
Yes, certainly.
How do you do that?
Taking for an example a modified Tomcat behind NGINX application config I have handy:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.com;
location /{
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://servera.example.com:8080/app;
client_max_body_size 10M;
}
location /login{
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://serverb.example.com:8080/login;
client_max_body_size 10M;
}
}
This will both proxy requests to the TomCat server, and serve them like any HTTP server.
Same can be said for any application you may want to proxy to, just modify the proxy_pass line of the above config accordingly!
