Hello,
I am trying to create the following setup with nginx:
subdomain.test.com subdomain.test.com/admin
I want nginx to serve static files (js, css, images etc) and everything else by the application I have running on the give ports.
For test.com it works as expected, but for test.com/admin the javascript and css files (found under /dist) are loaded from /var/www/test/main (test.com’s root)
My confing looks like:
server {
listen 80;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name subdomain.test.com;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
location ~ ^/(app/|images/|img/|javascript/|js/|css/|dist/|media/|static/|robots.txt|humans.txt|favicon.ico) {
root /var/www/test/main;
access_log off;
expires max;
}
location ~ / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:232;
}
location ~ ^/admin/(app/|images/|img/|javascript/|js/|css/|dist/|media/|static/|robots.txt|humans.txt|favicon.ico) {
root /var/www/test/admin;
access_log off;
expires max;
}
location ~ /admin {
proxy_pass http://localhost:233;
rewrite ^/admin.* /$1 break;
}
}

You could try my nginx configuration file Config model1:
# if you need to change from http to https
server {
if ($host = yourhost.net) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name yourhost.net;
return 302 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
# stuff here
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name yourhost.net;
location / {
alias /var/www/html/;
try_files $uri $uri @fwdbackend;
}
location @fwdbackend {
proxy_pass http://10.10.0.3:81;
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;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP; # Cloudflare
}
Explanation:
the nginx server access file on localhost at /var/www/html/
its using alias so when http://yourhost.net/assets/x.js will looking into /var/www/html/assets/x.js
and when there’s no file match with the user request it’ll pass to @fwdbackend (which pass the user request to 10.10.0.3:81 [nodejs server])
Config model2"
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name yourhost.net;
location /assets {
alias /var/www/html/assets/;
try_files $uri $uri =404;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://10.10.0.3:81;
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;
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP; # Cloudflare
}
