Bokeh server + reverse-proxying with Nginx gives 404

Question

I'm trying to set up a Bokeh server and reverse proxy it with Nginx.

My p-website.conf now looks like:

server {
listen   80;
server_name  website.com;
client_max_body_size 25M;
access_log  /var/www/logs/p-website.access.nginx.log;
error_log  /var/www/logs/p-website.error.nginx.log error;
root    /var/www/pydocs/website/production/src;

include global/restrictions.conf;


location /plot/ {
    proxy_pass http://website.com:5100;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_buffering off;
}

location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

    # enable this if and only if you use HTTPS, this helps Rack
    # set the proper protocol for doing redirects:
    # proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;

    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_connect_timeout 10;
    proxy_read_timeout 60s;

    proxy_pass http://production_website_gunicorn;
}
}

On the server I run the Bokeh server with:

bokeh serve bokehserver.py --port 5100 --host website.com:80

But when I visit website.com/plot/ I get a 404 from Bokeh and the servers terminal gives me: WARNING:tornado.access:404 GET / ("here was ip address") 3.04ms

I don't understand why it always gives a 404, or has it something to do with Nginx?

Thanks!

Update 30/06

Ok, I think I'm a step further, and hopefully in the good direction. My p-website.conf now looks like:

server {
listen   80 default_server;
server_name  website.com;
client_max_body_size 25M;
access_log  /var/www/logs/p-website.access.nginx.log;
error_log  /var/www/logs/p-website.error.nginx.log error;
root    /var/www/pydocs/magnify/production/src;

include global/restrictions.conf;


location / {
    allow 127.0.0.1:5100
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5100;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_buffering off;
}

}

I now run the server with:

bokeh serve bokehserver.py --port 5100 --host 127.0.0.1:80

Now I don't get the 404 any more, but a "403: Forbidden" when I go to website.com:5100/bokehserver/. And this message on in the bokehserver terminal:

INFO:bokeh.server.tornado:Rejected connection from host 'website.com:5100' because it is not in the --host whitelist
WARNING:tornado.access:403 GET /bokehserver/ (213.152.161.35) 0.78ms

I tried to fix the whitelist problem by adding allow 127.0.0.1:5100 in the p-website.conf, no luck.

I figured it out, apparently you need to add --prefix= with same location to the Bokeh command:

bokeh serve bokehserver.py --port 5100 --prefix=/plot/ --host website.com:80

And the location block in p-website.conf will look like:

location /plot/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5100;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_buffering off;
}
