Nginx Reverse Proxy: Run Multiple Services on One Domain

Nginx Reverse Proxy with Multiple Services | Ubuntu + AWS EC2 In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy to route multiple services through a single domain. Instead of accessing each service using different ports, we can access them through different paths: bunheng.online/ → Frontend bunheng.online/api/ → API bunheng.online/admin/ → Admin Dashboard Step-by-Step Configuration 1. Create folders to store the files sudo mkdir -p /var/www/proxy/frontend sudo mkdir -p /var/www/proxy/api sudo mkdir -p /var/www/proxy/admin 2. Upload files into their own folders Using FileZilla, upload each index.html file into its corresponding folder. 3. Create the Nginx Reverse Proxy configuration sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/web.conf Add the following configuration: server { listen 80; server_name bunheng.online; Frontend location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6101; } API service location /api/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6102/; } Admin dashboard location /admin/ { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6103/; } } 4. Enable the Nginx configuration sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/web.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/web.conf 5. Test the Nginx configuration sudo nginx -t You should see: syntax is ok test is successful 6. Reload Nginx sudo systemctl reload nginx 7. Start the three services Frontend - Port 6101 cd /var/www/proxy/frontend python3 -m http.server 6101 API - Port 6102 cd /var/www/proxy/api python3 -m http.server 6102 Admin - Port 6103 cd /var/www/proxy/admin python3 -m http.server 6103 Keep each service running in its own terminal.
