flask with web uwsgi and nginx not able to run index.html - nginx

Question

I m very new in flask, try to run a web application with backend as flask. My project folder structure is
~myproject/
~myproject/app (flask api)
~myproject/web (index.html)
running using uwsgi and nginx
uwsgi.ini
[uwsgi]
vhost = true
socket = /tmp/flask.sock
venv = /flask_app/.env
chdir = /flask_app/app
module = app
callable = app
nginx.conf
upstream flask_server {
ip_hash;
server 0.0.0.0;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_tokens off;
server_name _;
root /flask_app/web;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
charset utf-8;
client_max_body_size 75M;
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/flask.sock;
}
#location /static {
# alias /flask_app/static;
#}
location /flask/ {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://flask_server;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
But index.html is not loading , it is only allowing api url (like: 127.0.0.1/login)?

Answer 1

This directive tells Nginx just to send everything matching that location block to the upstream server uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/flask.sock
If you want to serve just index.html and pass everything else upstream then you could change it like this:
location / {
try_files $uri/index.html #upstream;
}
location #upstream {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/flask.sock;
}
