reverse proxy

Create an instance of plain reverse proxy instance with nginx. It’s quite simple.

Create an instance of ubuntu container as usual. Install nginx and add virtual host entry, say, “reverse” under /etc/nginx/sites-available.

server {
    listen 80;

    access_log  /home/ubuntu/reverse/logs/access.log;
    error_log   /home/ubuntu/reverse/logs/error.log debug;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_pass http://10.0.3.21:80/;
    }
}

Create symbolic link under /etc/nginx/sites-enabled directory to point it. And remove default symbolic link.

Make certain that you create log directory for nginx instance.

$ cd
$ mkdir -p reverse/logs

That’s all
