Running sinatra program [Kibana] behind nginx reverse proxy in web directory

Question

I'm trying to get Kibana to run behind nginx within a specific web directory. Or, put another way, I'm trying to have nginx reverse proxy http://example.com/kibana to http://localhost:5601/, which is where the Kibana sinatra app is running.

I've started Kibana with an init script, and if I curl the localhost url from the server, I get the expected response. However, navigating to http://example.com/kibana/ gives me the message of Sinatra doesn’t know this ditty. and a suggestion that /kibana/ should do something. Presumably, this is a routing issue.

My nginx config is simply this:

server { listen 80; ## listen for ipv4; this line is default and implied listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6 root /var/www; index index.html index.htm; # Make site accessible from http://localhost/ server_name _; location / { # First attempt to serve request as file, then # as directory, then fall back to index.html try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; # Uncomment to enable naxsi on this location # include /etc/nginx/naxsi.rules } location /kibana/ { proxy_pass http://localhost:5601; proxy_next_upstream error timeout invalid_header http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504; proxy_redirect off; proxy_buffering off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } } 

Answer 1

I have one modification on the previous answer.

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5601; 

Replace by

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5601/; 

Answer 2

try this: https://serverfault.com/a/379679/82682 (eventually replace '/foo/Kibana-0.2.0')

location /kibana { # rewrite before passing to proxy rewrite /kibana/(.*) /$1 break; proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5601; # include nginx' proxy-defaults include proxy_params; # serve static stuff directly from the static-directory location /kibana/favicon.ico { alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/favicon.ico; } location /kibana/images { alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/images; } location /kibana/lib { alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/lib; } }
