Reverse Proxy - NGINX Reverse Proxy
When NGINX proxies a request, it:
- Sends the request to a specified proxy server.
- Fetches the response.
- Sends the response back to the client.
Pass to a domain
To pass a request to an HTTP proxied server, the proxy_pass directive is specified inside a location.
location /some/path/ {
proxy_pass http://www.example.com/link/;
}
NOTE: The address of the proxied server is followed by a URI, /link/.
- If the URI is specified along with the address, it replaces the part of the request URI that matches the location parameter.
- For example, the request with the /some/path/page.html URI will be proxied to http://www.example.com/link/page.html.
- However, if the address is specified without a URI, or it is not possible to determine the part of URI to be replaced, the full request URI is passed (possibly, modified).
Proxy to an IP Address (and optional port)
location ~ \.php {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
}
