Docker Nginx Proxy: how to route traffic to different container using path and not hostname

Question

lets say that now I have different app running on the same server on different path:

• 10.200.200.210/app1
• 10.200.200.210/app2

Answer 1

just put this inside /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

    worker_processes  1;

    error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;

    events {
        worker_connections  1024;
    }


    http {
      server {
            listen 80;

            location /api {
                proxy_pass http://awesome-api;
                proxy_redirect     off;
                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-Host $server_name;
            }
      }
    }
