So I have Nginx proxying a rails app with the following config
location ^~ /admin {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://admin/;
}
which has the affect of re-writing all requests to http://localhost/admin/XXX/YYY/ZZZ => http://admin/XXX/YYY/ZZZ
so next I ran into the issue of assets urls not pointing at the proxied app, so config.relative_url_root = '/admin' did the trick
Next problem is every link generated by link_to returns a link based at / not /admin which I would believe config.relative_url_root would change... Now I am sort of correct, If i go to rails console then include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers then call say root_path or management_path, I receive /admin and /admin/management. Perfect!
Now this is where I get rather confused. All the routes generated in my views disregard the prefix set by config.relative_url_root...
Why is this configuration option working in the console environment but not in the view environment?
config.relative_url_root is located in my application.rb
Rails 5.1.5
This resolution is not quite what I was hoping for but in the meantime it works.
/config.ru
map ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT'] || "/" do
run Rails.application
end
/nginx.conf
location ^~ /admin {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://HC_admin/admin;
}
All that changed is that the app itself now thinks it is running at /admin or whatever you set RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT to. This in my mind defeats the purpose of parts of your app being separated as you still need to configure where its mounted.

This is my first time posting a question. Kindly let me know if I am missing something that needs to be shared.
I am trying to POST some data into database through my C# APP and API (separately build), but it throws error 404 only for the POST API. All other pages work fine and so does the GET request. The app and API have been deployed on a LINUX machine through NGINX reverse proxy server. Both of them work on HTTP protocol. The feature works for localhost, but not for IP dependent URL.
Here is the content of service file for the app, I do not know what is missing in it. Please take care of the "/" as well where ever it is needed. While performing RnD, I found that the POST request in NGINX gets redirected to GET, I don't know if this will be helpful or not, but felt like sharing.
server {
listen myIP:6002;
server_name attendancepp;
root /home/user/net-core/Publish/AttendanceModule/AttendanceApp;
location /AttendanceApp/{
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://myIP:6002/;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
The app works on the URL http://myIP:6002/attendance/allPages . All the pages are accessible without any issue. Just the POST part is not working.
Thank you, in advance.
working fine after commenting
try_files $uri $uri/ =404
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
sudo nano default << nginx
edit file then CTR+X and 'y' for yes
sudo systemctl restart nginx
I have two apps: /foo and /bar. In each of those folders I'm starting up passenger. For foo:
passenger start -d -e production -p 4000
And for bar:
passenger start -d -e production -p 4001
I then have nginx configured like so:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name www.server.com;
root /var/www/html;
location /foo/ {
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:4000/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
location /bar/ {
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:4001/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
The apps are getting served up, but none of the links work. A link to the users#index action comes back as '/users' not '/foo/users'.
I've set config.relative_url_root in both apps, that helps with the assets but not the links.
I've tried with both the _url and _path methods, neither work.
This answer is close, but passenger_base_uri isn't a valid directive for stock nginx.
So then I followed the advanced configuration instructions for Passenger's nginx configuration and added passenger_base_uri = '/foo'; to my custom conf file and loaded it like so:
passenger start -d -e production -p 4000 --nginx-config-template nginx.conf.erb
Still no love, and I'm out of ideas. Has anyone done this before? It seems like a common way to deploy multiple apps in production.
More Thoughts (2015-06-05)
Adding passenger_base_uri = '/foo' to my nginx.conf.erb file hosts the application in TWO locations (which is odd to me, but whatever):
localhost:4000/
localhost:4000/foo/
The first doesn't have the correct resource links (i.e. it's just '/users') but has access to its assets.
The second has the correct resource links (e.g. '/foo/users') but doesn't have its assets (this is because it's looking for /foo/assets/* inside of its public folder, not just /assets/*). I believe that this is the way to go though, as I can change my proxy like this to get at the application:
location /foo/ {
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:4000/foo/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
Does anyone else have any thoughts though? If I do this, it'll mean I'll have to rake my assets into public/foo for it to work. Not the end of the world, but it still seems weird.
For anyone else looking to do the same thing, here's what it was in the end:
Follow the Advanced Configuration to get a project specific nginx.conf.erb file.
Add a passenger_base_uri directive to that file for your app (e.g. passenger_base_uri = '/foo';)
In your config/environments/production.rb file move the location of the assets: config.assets.prefix = '/foo/assets'.
Start passenger passenger start -d -e production -p SOME_PORT --nginx-config-template nginx.conf.erb
In your nginx proxy configuration add a location directive for your app:
location /foo/ {
proxy_pass http://0.0.0.0:SOME_PORT/foo/;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Host $host; # more robust than http_host
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; # this ensures your app's env is correct
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https; # add this if you always want the redirects to go to HTTPS
}
After that, (re)start your nginx proxy and you should be good at http://your_proxy/foo/.
I'm trying to set nginx location that will handle various paths and proxy them to my webapp.
Here is my conf:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.example.org;
#this works fine
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/myApp/;
}
#not working
location ~ ^/(.+)$ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8081/myApp/$1;
}
}
I would like to access myApp with various paths like: /myApp/ABC, /myApp/DEF, myApp/GEH or /myApp/ZZZ.
Of course these paths are not available in myApp. I want them to point to root of myApp and keep url.
Is that possible to archive with nginx ?
Nginx locations match in order of definition. location / is basically a wildcard location, so it will match everything, and nothing will reach the second location. Reverse the order of the two definitions, and it should work. But actually, now that I look at it more closely, I think both locations are essentially doing the same thing:
/whatever/path/ ->>proxies-to->> http://localhost:8081/myApp/whatever/path/
A very late reply. this might help someone
try proxy_pass /myApp/ /location1 /location2;
Each location separated with space.
You will probably have to do a rewrite followed by a proxy pass, I had the same issue. Check here: How to make a conditional proxy_pass within NGINX
I am deploying a Rails 2.3 // Spree app with Capistrano/Unicorn/Foreman/Upstart.
The part that I cannot figure out is how to have the /myapp/shared/sockets/unicorn.sock be automatically created by the foreman/upstart process management (at least that I think the unix socket should come from them).
What's responsible for creating the unix socket?
Let's say your configuration is nginx + unicorn . As you probably know , in the config dir you should create a file named unicorn.rb . In this file there is a description how to handle non-static requests , something like this :
upstream unicapd {
server unix:/tmp/capd.sock fail_timeout=0;
}
I've named the upstream differently than stated in tutorials , this gives me ability to host a number different applications on the same host .
Then , in your vhosts dir on the Nginx configuration you put something like this (let's say your host file is 'vhosts/myconf.conf':
location #unicorn1 {
proxy_pass http://unicapd;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
Here you see the instruction to nginx to serve non-static requests from the place , named "http://unicapd" , which is related to your unicorn.rb config file . This configuration is triggered by a file , which is in your init.d (in case you're running Debian) directory .
Summary : When you say bundle exec unicorn --restart , the script in your init.d triggers the code , forming a "special" file /tmp/capd.sock , which serves the dynamic content from you Rails app.
Path to unix-socket configured in unicorn's config:
...
listen "/home/user/app/shared/sockets/unicorn.sock", :backlog => 64
...
Then in nginx.conf:
location / {
try_files $uri #unicorn;
proxy_cache cache;
proxy_cache_valid 10m;
}
location #unicorn {
proxy_set_header Client-Ip $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/user/apps/shared/sockets/unicorn.sock;
}
When application will be started, unicorn create socket-file in setted path (user must have write access to this path)
I have several applications running on different ports of a development server and use nginx as a reverse proxy.
Some of these apps are Rails applications and some are gems that come packaged with a preconfigured server (e.g. mailcatcher, gollum, sinatra). I can't find a configuration to set the proper paths for static assets.
Consider a request made to http://oh.no/gem which serves content from http://oh.no:666
Since the gem points to files at the root of the site (e.g. '/images/wth.jpg') they never load. With Rails apps, I generally change the root directive in nginx and appropriately configure the apps files, but that method lacks elegance and is a PITA when toying with gems.
With Rails applications, I'm familiar with adding directives to allow Passenger to handle a sub-URI elegantly, but I don't know a noninstrusive solution for apps loaded by other servers. What additions/deletions would I need to make to the following to serve the assets?
location /gem {
proxy_pass http://localhost:666/;
proxy_redirect default;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
