ws-nginx-demo

A instance of NGINX used in the ws-dev-docker-example serving as proxy for 2 other containers

Architecture:

This repository is part of a larger effort to expound on the strategies and approaches delineated in the article Practical Web Development and Architecture. NGINX is used as proxy, to navigate request between two docker containers:

• Back-End ws-node-demo
• Front-End ws-ngx-login-demo

The ngin.conf applies the request URI to one of the above containers base an parameter in the URI:

• location/

  • proxy_pass http://ws-ngx-login-demo:5555

• location/api

  • proxy_pass http:ws-node-demo:8080/api

• location/docs

  • proxy_pass http:ws-node-demo:8080/docs

The proxy_pass are based on the named services (containers implementations) in ws-dev-docker-example/docker-compose.yml
