Reverse proxy

Reverse proxy

Here is an example of a nginx reverse proxy.

Create a new vhost and replace the following values:

• <SERVER-IP>
• <FQDN>
• <PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE>
• <PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY>

upstream repomanager_docker {
    server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}

# Disable some logging
map $request_uri $loggable {
    /ajax/controller.php 0;
    default 1;
}

server {
    listen <SERVER-IP>:80;
    server_name <FQDN>;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/<FQDN>_access.log combined if=$loggable;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/<FQDN>_error.log;

    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen <SERVER-IP>:443 ssl;
    server_name <FQDN>;

    # Path to SSL certificate/key files
    ssl_certificate <PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE>;
    ssl_certificate_key <PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY>;

    # Path to log files
    access_log /var/log/nginx/<FQDN>_ssl_access.log combined if=$loggable;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/<FQDN>_ssl_error.log;

    # Max upload size
    client_max_body_size 32M;

    # Security headers
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains; preload;" always;
    add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer" always;
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;

    # Remove X-Powered-By, which is an information leak
    fastcgi_hide_header X-Powered-By;

    location / {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port 443;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
        proxy_pass http://repomanager_docker;
    }
}

Reload nginx to apply.

systemctl reload nginx

Open your web browser and connect to http://<FQDN>.
