nginx – Nginx Multiple Directories with Static References

nginx

I have an Nginx server on which I want to host two seperate react apps, let's call them Aapp and Bapp.

The folder structure is like this

  • Aapp (directory)
    • index.html
    • script.js
    • style.css
  • Bapp (directory)
    • index.html
    • script.js
    • style.css
  • ..other files and directories

I then have my config file setup like this:

server {
  root home/user/Aapp;
  index index.html;
      
  location ^~ /Bapp {
    allow all;
    alias /home/user/Bapp;
  }
  ....
}

Visiting the url my-domain/Bapp is successfully showing index.html from the folder 'Bapp' but it is including the script.js and style.csss from 'Aapp' instead of the ones from 'Bapp'.

Is there a way to tell the server if the file request is coming from the Bapp folder, it should use the 'Bapp' folder files? or do I need to update it in my application build script? (not ideal as different environments may differ)

You need to handle setting the base URL for the application in application setting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48134785/how-to-set-a-base-url-for-react-router-at-the-app-level

Handling this issue cannot be done in a good way with nginx.
