Reverse Proxy

Configure reverse proxies for application routing.

nginx

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name api.example.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name api.example.com;
    
    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/api.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/api.key;
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://backend:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
    
    location /ws {
        proxy_pass http://backend:8080;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}
