No there isn't. It's a feature that's been added for advanced users with previous nginx knowledge. If you tell me what you're trying to achieve, I can give you a specific example.

Sorry to highjack this thread but, I have a similar question.

I am trying to have nxgin do a Rewrite of the URL every time.

the problem is one of my site behind the reverse proxy is set for'
(http://example.com:8080/) & (https://example.com:8443/). it's an unifi controller and I can change the port to 80 and 443 without the service failing. so I just forwarded 8443 and 8080 to 80 and 443 but I really need it to perform a Rewrite as well every time to fix the issue.

So I need nxgin to change the http://example.com:8080 & https://example.com:8443/) to just https://example.com.

Any help would be great.

I just can seem to use a standard Nxgin Rewrite.
I used this but it did not work.

server {
listen 8080;
listen 80;
listen 8443 ssl;
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.old-name.com old-name.com;
return 301 $scheme://www.new-name.com$request_uri;
}

Hi, How can I use the same domain name with different ports? ID I want to add a new port the app shows that the domain is already in use.

Anyone know how to allow access to the network only from internal network?

I've tried something like:

location / {
    allow 192.168.0.1/15;
    allow 172.0.0.1/8;
    deny all;
}

Where 172.0.0.1/8 is my Docker subnet (including OpenVPN), 192.168.0.1/15 is for my local behind NAT networks for home PC, Netbooks etc. Unfortunately - when I apply this config - I've got: 404 Not Found error :(

For any interested. I've just dropped header and footer.

My current Custom Nginx Configuration in Advanced tab is:

allow 88.99.123.123;
allow 192.168.0.1/15;
allow 172.0.0.1/8;
deny all;

where 88.99.123.123 is my external IP address.

This solve my issue. Host is accessible only from local / VPN network.

I'm assuming you had a semicolon at the end of the first line right?

This issue has gone a little off the rails. I'll close this for now. If you have a specific question, please open a separate issue for this.

Sorry to highjack this thread but, I have a similar question.

I am trying to have nxgin do a Rewrite of the URL every time.

the problem is one of my site behind the reverse proxy is set for'
(http://example.com:8080/) & (https://example.com:8443/). it's an unifi controller and I can change the port to 80 and 443 without the service failing. so I just forwarded 8443 and 8080 to 80 and 443 but I really need it to perform a Rewrite as well every time to fix the issue.

So I need nxgin to change the http://example.com:8080 & https://example.com:8443/) to just https://example.com.

Any help would be great.

Did you solve this? I too am setting up unifi controller in Docker behind NPM proxy and unsure how I might have all the required ports handled by the proxy.

I have a proxy host setup in NPM:

unifi.mydomain.com > https://container_name:8443

This works great for the web interface (because I can force SSL end to end there's no issue with the login error).

But I also need to redirect the following ports to the container too:

8080/tcp - Device command/control

8880/tcp - HTTP portal

3478/udp - STUN service

6789/tcp - Speed Test (unifi5 only)

I could just map the ports to the docker host instead of just expose. Or maybe use "streams" in NPM but this uses IP address only which could change on my container.

When I try to use nginx with ssl to APIs, POST redirect to GET. :/
