Is Dockerfile Config Independent of nginx Server Blocks?

Hi there,

Can you share the command that you use to start your containers here?

Port 8080 is just an example for the guide, if you bind your containers on different ports, then you would need to use that specific port in your reverse proxy config.

Feel free to share the output of the docker ps command here.

Regards, Bobby

Yes, I can access containers on port 80 directly, however I was confused that I couldn’t access them over 8080 as it might have indicated a problem with my server setup. One of the per-requisites in your guide is setting up nginx with ufw.

netstat -plant | grep 8080

returns

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      81965/docker-proxy

My server block:

server {

        root /var/www/myurl.com/html;
        #replaced folder with {server-block}
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
        
        server_name myurl.com www.myurl.com;

        location / {
               # try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
                proxy_pass  http://localhost:8080;
        }

    } # managed by Certbot


    if ($host = myurl.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot


        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name myurl.com www.myurl.com;


    return 404; # managed by Certbot
