Nginx Reverse proxy and how its works

 

• In a single sentence reverse proxy acts a proxy instead of exposing the private IP & its port.

Example :

• Original URL: https://10.1.12.12:8090/artifactory
• Niginx Reverse proxy : https://jfrog.linuxbox/artifactory
• The NGINX server can be accessed from the public domain.
• The tutorial makes use of variables like SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.TLD and PRIVATE_IP. Replace them with your own values at appropriate places.

Nginx configuration:

/etc/nginx/conf.d/jfrog.conf

specifiy your private ip inthe file and your DNS name
