I want to use NGINX to as a proxy to get to Deluge which is inside my home network (NGINX is publically available).
This configuration works:
location 8112; location / { proxy_pass http://deluge_address:8112; }
However I'd like to use an address in form of http://nginx_address/deluge to be proxied to internal http://deluge_address:8112.
I tried the following:
location /deluge/ { proxy_pass http://deluge_address:8112/; }
(I tried different combinations of trailing / - none work).
But I get 404 Not found instead.
I have some knowledge about networks, but not too much. Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrongly?
I did find a solution for this, but found a bug also in Nginx in the same time
https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/1370#ticket
Edit-1
Seems like bug i logged was an invalid one, which even helped me understand few more things. So I edited the config a bit.
You need to use below config
location ~* /deluge/(.*) { sub_filter_once off; sub_filter_types text/css; sub_filter '"base": "/"' '"base": "/deluge/"'; sub_filter '' '\n'; sub_filter 'src="/' 'src="./'; sub_filter 'href="/' 'href="./'; sub_filter 'url("/' 'url("./'; sub_filter 'url(\'/' 'url(\'./'; set $deluge_host 192.168.33.100; set $deluge_port 32770; proxy_pass http://$deluge_host:$deluge_port/$1; proxy_cookie_domain $deluge_host $host; proxy_cookie_path / /deluge/; proxy_redirect http://$deluge_host:$deluge_port/ /deluge/; }
The key was to insert a base url into the pages using below
sub_filter '' '\n';
And then make replacement in src and href attributes in html. And also url(' in css entries.
Luckily deluge has a JavaScript config which has the base url. So we can override the same by adding
sub_filter '"base": "/"' '"base": "/deluge/"';
