Spring Boot and Nginx integration

Question

In my project, web app is developed using Spring boot with default tomcat server. I am using NGINX as load-balancer and have configured my spring-boot-web-app in NGINX configura

Answer 1

This works for me. Can you try this?

1. Running tomcat

   docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=tomcat tomcat:8 
   

2. Running nginx

   docker run -d -p 80:80 --link tomcat:tomcat --name=nginx nginx
   

3. Go inside nginx container and update the conf

   docker exec -it nginx bash
   

   /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:

   server {
      listen 80 default_server;
     server_name subdomain.domain.com;
     location / {
         proxy_pass http://tomcat:8080;
         proxy_set_header Host      $host;
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
     }
   }
   

4. Restart nginx service

   nginx -s reload
   

5. Access the tomcat through nginx from host browser. You may need to add entry to /etc/hosts

   http://subdomain.domain.com
   

Complete nginx conf: nginx.conf
