|
Configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy Server.
For example, Configure Nginx that HTTP/HTTPS accesses to [www.srv.world] are forwarded to [node01.srv.world].

root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf # add [log_format] setting into [http] section
http {
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/default # add into [server] section # specify your local network for [set_real_ip_from]
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
set_real_ip_from 10.0.0.0/24;
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;
root@node01:~# systemctl reload nginx |

It's possible to proxy requests of multiple hostnames or domainnames.
For example, [www.srv.world], [rx-7.srv.world], [rx-8.srv.world] are assigned the same IP address (10.0.0.31 on here) by DNS setting
and Nginx on the server with its IP address receives all requests to those hostname.This example shows to use servers which have the same domainname but it's no problem if domainnames are not the same one. The example below shows to configure Nginx that requests to [www.srv.world] are forwarded to local Nginx default site, requests to [rx-7.srv.world] are forwarded to the backend server [rx-7.srv.world (10.0.0.101)], requests to [rx-8.srv.world] are forwarded to the backend server [rx-8.srv.world (10.0.0.102)]. |
