Making the same website accessible from the subdirectory

Question

I want my same website to accessible from a subdirectory. For example, right now my website is

https://example.com

What I want is, that it should also be reachable using:

https://example.com/hi

That means each path that is accessible from https://example.com should also be accessible from https://example.com/hi. How could I do this. Here is what I tried in my server config.

    location /hi {
          proxy_pass https://example.com
    }

Right now, if I try https://example.com/hi, it gives out Bad Gateway. What is it that I should be doing?

You should be checking the error log. – Michael Hampton Dec 10 '20 at 18:19 — Michael Hampton, Dec 10 '20 at 18:19

Instead of using proxy_pass did you try using rewrite?

location /hi/ {
 rewrite ^/hi(/.*)$ $1 break;
}

Could you please explain what has happened here? – Amanda Dec 13 '20 at 06:04
The subdirectory `/hi/` gets rewritten so for the server it looks like `/` was requested. No need to `proxy_pass` since the website is not on a remote server. Otherwise just add it. – unNamed Dec 13 '20 at 11:56
