I can access my server running in a Docker container w/ port 0.0.0.0:8080 and 0.0.0.0:5432 (for accessing remote Postgres server on ElephantSQL). I had this running @ one point behind an NGINX server in DigitalOcean but had to recreate my droplet and now I can’t get the config to work again … ugh!.
I CAN access my server via http://dropletIP:8080
When I run my server in a container on my MCB and I run the following NGINX server & configuration on my MCB in another container, I access my server with http://localhost:80.
But when I run the same configuration and servers in my droplet: http://dropletIP:8080 … my server is working but MyDomain.com … server does does not response.
Also… I have MyDomain pointing its A record to www.MyDomain.com and MyDomain.com
Here is my default (no extension) which I have located in \etc\nginx\sites-enabled. (Note: there are no config files in config.d and the default file in sites-available is a mirror of the default config file in sites-enabled.
server {
listen [::]:80;
server_name MyDomain.com www.MyDomain.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
# proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
# proxy_set_header Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
# proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
# proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_connect_timeout 60s;
proxy_send_timeout 60s;
proxy_read_timeout 60s;
}
}

Hi @Drunner4,
After digging around, I found the following article :
https://www.docker.com/blog/how-to-use-the-official-nginx-docker-image/
It describes what exactly you are trying to do. As far as I can see, the Nginx configuration file should look something like :
server {
listen 80;
server_name frontend;
location / {
# This would be the directory where your app's static files are stored at
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
location /services/m {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://backend:8080/services/m;
proxy_ssl_session_reuse off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
Now, in this case it’s using a frontend and backend for different files. You can remove the backendstuff and make it with localhost.
Anyway, the thing that you are missing in your initial configuration file is the location of the files it should use. That’s it.
