Deploy to subdirectory

[ndc]

I need to host multiple apps in the same server under different subdirectories, for example http://myserver/myfirstapp and http://myserver/mysecondapp.
I tried to set up nginx with multiple locations, but request from browser can't seem to reach the app (404). It seems like the app works only if put on root (location /).
Need guidance on how to set up multiple apps in subdirectories with nginx.

Hello @ndc ... this is akin to (not really an exact duplicate given it's a different server) #14999. See if the SO answer that was posted there is any help (it may only apply to Apache).

I'll mark this for the Product Unit ("PU" label). No ETA on when they'll get to this. In the meantime, your best bet are support forums and chat. See my answer on that other issue ☝️.

@ndc Just like this;

1. Nginx config:

location /myfirstapp/ {
        proxy_pass http://ip1:port1/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }


    location /mysecondapp/ {
        proxy_pass http://ip2:port2/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://ip:port/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }

Don't forget the last trailing / under proxy_pass !

2. Add app.UsePathBase("/myfirstapp") in your first project andapp.UsePathBase("/mysecondapp") in your second project.

@sheng-jie Thanks! It turned out only UsePathBase is needed to make it work. I created a blog post to gather my notes when working on this.

Thanks for the work you guys have done on this issue. I'll schedule it and see if I can improve the doc based on your findings. I should be able to squeeze it in between rounds of Blazor doc issues on the next sprint (March).
