Hi,
We’re looking for a solution where we can register an IP (Droplet) and then route to this IP based on URL segment.
The process would be like this:
Is this possible through something like a reverse proxy?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Yes this would be doable with a reverse proxy setup with Nginx. The Nginx server block configuration will look something like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com www.your_domain.com;
location /arbitrary_id_1 {
proxy_pass http://droplet_ip;
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-Proto $scheme;
}
location /arbitrary_id_2 {
proxy_pass http://droplet_ip;
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-Proto $scheme;
}
}
For more information I could suggest this tutorial here:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
