With jwilder nginx-proxy, how to proxypass a subdirectory url to a specific container?
One approach is to give the php app its own virtual host:
php: image: php:apache environment: - VIRTUAL_HOST=api.localhost volumes: - ./php:/var/www/htmlThen, it will be accesible as this:
curl -H 'Host: api.localhost' http://localhost:8000/apiSetting the header can be achieved in practically any language. Or to avoid setting custom header, you can add that DNS to your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 api.localhostSo you can curl as this:
curl -H http://api.localhost:8000/apiThis is how set custom headers, for example in node:
var request = require('request')var formData = {}request({ headers: { 'Host': 'api.localhost' }, uri: 'http://localhost:8080', method: 'POST' }, function (err, res, body) { console.log("it works") console.log(res) })But, I recommend you to go for the /etc/hosts approach, that should has an equivalent in production environment (a DNS server). So you don't need to touch node code.
