Hello guys I want to make an nginx config for my server. I want to serve localhost for testing for now. So I set up inside a myWebsite.conf file which I include into the nginx.conf file via include /path/to/myWebsite.conf
I want to make my server block that way that it can serve the static index.html, css files and js files when the url is localhost:8080 and when the url is localhost:8080/services I want nginx to reverse proxy a gunicord server that is up and running and is serving my falcon app (back end python framework)
The way I built my server block is following
server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;
index index.html
location ~ / {
root /path/to/var/www/mySite (where I have only my index.html page)
}
location ~ /services {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000; (gunicorn server running)
}
add_header Cache-Control no-cache; (no cache for testing reasons)
}
The result I am getting is that the server is only serving the index.html and nothing else. When I type localhost:8080/services I dont have access to my api methods on my python program. Can you help me please on which part should I change to make it play? Or I have something completely wrong in the way I am trying to do this?
