Setting up Reverse Proxy via Nginx

Path based reverse proxy

Suppose, you are running scullog at localhost:9000, and wanted to run at localhost:8888/scullog, then below configuration

http{
  map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
      default upgrade;
      '' close;
  }
  server {
        listen	8888;
      server_name  localhost;
        location /scullog {
            rewrite ^/scullog/?(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
    }
}

Port based reverse proxy

Suppose, you are running scullog at localhost:9000, and wanted to run at localhost:8888, then below configuration

http{
  map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
      default upgrade;
      '' close;
  }
  server {
        listen	8888;
      server_name  localhost;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
    }
}
