Reverse proxy for multiple websites

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’m sticking on configure a reverse proxy, my scenario looks like:

Internet
…|
…|__Reverse proxy (listen port 80)
…|__web1.com (listen port 8080)
…|__web2.net (listen port 8080)
…|__web-n.org (listen port 8080)

Assume All website shared one public IP only and each website runs on
independent VPS.

If I create multi server{} block to use proxy_pass directive to web
server inside, it’s only web1.com can be reachable (perhaps it’s on
top config).

It’s highly appreciate if someone advice me ideas to make this working.

Thanks,

–
Best regards,
Hai N., Nguyen

If many backend sites share the same ip, and you refer all of them
with the same name (or ip) in proxy_pass directive, you probably
want to use somethine like

proxy_set_header Host <name>;

to make sure backend will be able to distinguish them. Or just

proxy_set_header Host $host;

to pass what you’ve got from client.

Hi Dev,

I’ve followed this document
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/request_processing.html

And I think my problem was missing deffinitions for “www.domain.tld” in
server_name; after edit it to

server_name domain.tld www.domain.tld;

the problem solved.

Thanks for your attention.
