I have a website being served by Nginx and I'm trying to do something that I don't know if it's possible the way I'm trying to do but the case is:
I have Application A and B made with React / Node.
- The application A is the main, it has the frontend and backend on Dockerized.
- The application B is the Admin Panel, that has a separate frontend, backend and is also dockerized.
- I am currently serving the application A on www.applicationA.com/, and I'm trying to serve the application B on www.applicationA.com/admin.
Bellow is my NGINX config:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name applicationA.com www.applicationA.com;
root /var/www/html/;
location / {
// *This is working*
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
proxy_pass http://applicationA.com:8080;
}
location /admin {
// *This is **NOT** working*
proxy_pass http://applicationA.com:5001;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name applicationA.com www.applicationA.com;
server_tokens off;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/applicationA.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/applicationA.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_buffer_size 8k;
ssl_dhparam /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam-2048.pem;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ciphers ECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+3DES:!ADH:!AECDH:!MD5;
ssl_ecdh_curve secp384r1;
ssl_session_tickets off;
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;
resolver 8.8.8.8;
location / {
try_files $uri @server;
}
location @server { // **Working**
proxy_pass http://applicationA.com:8080;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade" always;
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src * data: 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline'" always;
}
location /admin { // **NOT Working**
proxy_pass http://applicationA.com:5001;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade" always;
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src * data: 'unsafe-eval'
'unsafe-inline'" always;
}
root /var/www/html/;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
}
- The response I get from accessing applicationA.com/admin is 502: Bad Gateway.
- There is nothing relevant in the logs accusing any errors.
- If needed, I will post the Node file or the docker-compose file.
