I'm using a nginx container that is unprivileged and runs on port 8080, I used it to serve up a Hugo site, everything works except for when you click on a tag which sends you to /tags/mytag/ I keep getting a 301 redirect and since nginx inside the container is running on port 8080 and my site is on 443 I get an error because nginx returns the site with the port i.e. https://mysite:8080/tags/mytag. Now I found this link nginx docs
The issue is how would I use that to fix my problem I've messed around and I haven't been able to find the right answer, I've done something like
location /tags/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/tags;
}
and
location = /tags {
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/tags/;
}
Of course neither worked. I'm a bit out of my league here any help would be appreciated.
After digging I think I found a solution it works running the container in docker now I need to test if works in k8s as I have an ingress controller in front of everything:
server {
listen 5000;
server_name localhost;
#charset koi8-r;
#access_log /var/log/nginx/host.access.log main;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
location /tags {
alias /usr/share/nginx/html/tags;
if (-d $request_filename) {
rewrite [^/]$ $scheme://$http_host$uri/ permanent;
}
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /404.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
# proxy the PHP scripts to Apache listening on 127.0.0.1:80
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1;
#}
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
# root html;
# fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# fastcgi_index index.php;
# fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;
# include fastcgi_params;
#}
# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
# deny all;
#}
}
