How to setup nginx with subdomain only

Hi @yedroj92,

You’ll need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy for your domain. Don’t worry though, it’s not that hard.

In your Nginx configuration file for your subdomain - admin.mydomain.com , you can add the following location block:

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://your_server_ip:1337;
        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 /admin {
        proxy_pass http://your_server_ip:1337/admin;
        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;
    }

Make sure to add the location block inside your other block, so it will look something like:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        root /var/www/admin.mydomain.com/html;

        server_name admin.mydomain.com www.admin.mydomain.com;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

        location / {
           proxy_pass http://your_server_ip:1337;
           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 /admin {
           proxy_pass http://your_server_ip:1337/admin;
           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;
       }
}
