I am attempting to set a reverse proxy using the nginx container with a few other containerized app being routed too behind. I have modified the default.config in nginx to below. I have not changed anything in nginx.config.
server { listen 80; server_name localhost; location / { root /usr/share/nginx/html; index index.html index.htm; } location /mailhog { proxy_pass http://mailhog:8025; } location /httpd { proxy_pass http://httpd:8080; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } } My dockerfile uses the nginx image and just replaces the default.config.
Docker run command
docker run -d --name mailhog -p 8025:8025 mailhog/mailhog docker run -d --name httpd -p 8080:80 httpd docker run -d --name mynginx --link=httpd --link=mailhog -p 80:80 mynginx When I navigate to / I get the standard nginx index page. Mailhog give a 404 and httpd give a 502. I have tried a couple variations of the docker runs command such as using --expose or not opening any ports. If I navigate the actual url, the apps work fine, just not through the reverse proxy.
I got this strategy from here. I have looked at using nginx-proxy but I don't want to use subdomain.domain url pattern.
