This is a very minimalistic reverse-proxy setup with SSL.
Create a certificate and key using below command. Set env variables in advance:
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout $private_dir/nginx-selfsigned.key -out $cert_dir/nginx-selfsigned.crt
Keep the certificate generated in the certs directory and the key generated in private directory.
The actual setup goes here:
NGINX configuration file
A working front-end with SSL and reverse proxy running on port 443:
Working backends on HTTP:
Backend 1 running on port 8090:
Backend 2 running on port 8095:
Reverse proxy in action for backends:
Backend 1 through reverse-proxy over HTTPS:
Backend 2 through reverse-proxy over HTTPS:
