I've created a rest API for my Django app but how I go to api.website.com rather than something like www.website.com/api
Btw I'm using nginx if that has to do anything with this
In your nginx configuration add something like this. This passes all requests on api.website.com to your gunicorn socket -> your django app.
server {
listen *:80;
server_name api.website.com;
location ~ ^/api(.*)$ {
try_files $uri $1 /$1;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://gunicorn_socket/;
}
}

Is it secure to set SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT=False if I have nginx setup as a reverse proxy serving the site over https?
I can access the site over SSL if this is set this to False, where as if it is True, I receive too many redirects response.
NOTE: nginx and django run from within docker containers.
My nginx.conf looks like:
upstream config {
server web:8000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name _;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/cert.com.chained.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/certs/cert.com.key;
location / {
proxy_pass http://config;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /staticfiles/ {
alias /home/app/web/staticfiles/;
}
}
EDIT: Added http to https redirect in nginx.conf.
You need to add the following to your "location /" block:
location / {
...
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
...
}
I have the following config (inside the server tag) for my nginx server:
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Fix the “It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken" error.
proxy_pass http://localhost:5000;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
}
location /api {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
# Fix the “It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken" error.
proxy_pass http://localhost:2233/;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_redirect default;
}
I now try to access /api/auth/login/ via my webbrowser. At port 2233 I have a python server with Flask running. Now in the python console i get:
"GET //auth/login/ HTTP/1.0" 404 -
In my oppinion this path is messy and also not configured in flask, thats why there is a 404 response (for /auth/login i have a route).
How do I get rid of the leading slash nginx produces?
You are using the proxy_pass directive to alias /api/foo to /foo. Alias tends to work best if both source and target URIs end with a / or neither end with a /.
So:
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:2233/;
...
}
Will correctly map /api/foo to /foo without adding the double-/ at the beginning. See this document for details.
This may also mean that the bare URI /api may not work correctly now.
Alternatively, perform the alias using rewrite ... break; instead of proxy_pass:
location /api {
rewrite ^/api(?:/(.*))?$ /$1 break;
proxy_pass http://localhost:2233;
...
}
See this document for details.
I have written two micros services with python and ruby. The python one serves some api requests. and the ruby one serves the other api requests.
the python one listens port 80 and can handle /users /feeds requests
the ruby one listens port 4567 and can handle /orders /products requests.
the following is my config file .but it does not work with nginx .
upstream midgard_api_cluster
{
server unix:/tmp/midgard_api.sock;
}
upstream tradeapi {
server 127.0.0.1:4567;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name my.domain.name;
client_max_body_size 20M;
set $x_remote_addr $http_x_real_ip;
if ($x_remote_addr = "") {
set $x_remote_addr $remote_addr;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/midgard/access_log ;
error_log /var/log/nginx/midgard/error_log ;
charset utf-8;
location /static/ {
root /opt/www/templates/;
expires 30d;
}
location / {
error_page 502 503 504 /500.html;
uwsgi_pass midgard_api_cluster;
include uwsgi_params;
# proxy_redirect default;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $x_remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
proxy_connect_timeout 10;
proxy_send_timeout 10;
proxy_read_timeout 11;
}
location /products {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://tradeapi;
proxy_redirect off;
}
location /orders {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://tradeapi;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
Now , when i use
curl http://my.domain.name/products
It got a 404 error and the request was directed to the python service .
and
curl http://my.domain.name:3000/products
can get the right response .
How can i setup the nginx configuration file and route the request to the ruby service ?
locations are processed in order. The /-location matches before /products so the later is never reached. Put / at the end of the config file.
I'm trying to set up Tornado server behind nginx proxy, here're the relevant bits of the configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location html/ {
root /srv/www/intj.com/html;
index login.html;
if ($query_string) {
expires max;
}
}
location = /favicon.ico {
rewrite (.*) /html/favicon.ico;
}
location = /robots.txt {
rewrite (.*) /html/robots.txt;
}
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8888;
}
}
I can get to my Python server through nginx, but when I request a static pages, such as, say login.html, which is located in /srv/www/intj.com/html/login.html, instead of loading the static file, the request is forwarded to Tornado, which doesn't know what to make of it.
What did I do wrong?
Well, it actually had to be ^~ /html/, but I don't really know what it means / what is the difference, so it would be cool if someone could enlighten me.
Try this and tell me how it goes.
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
if($query_string) {
root /srv/www/intj.com/html;
index index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/;
}
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8888;
}
}
I have a custom nginx build for my project and everything works fine except I'm confused about serving static files using the same nginx server (below you can see my config file) recently tried to set root=/home/USERNAME/media/app/ and root= /home/USERNAME/.virtualenvs/medialaw; also created static only applications in control panel and pointed extra_info to my MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT respectively but all things failed.
Can anyone help me with it, may be someone already faced such a challenge?
server {
listen MY_PORT;
server_name USERNAME.webfactional.com;
access_log /home/USERNAME/logs/user/nginx/app_access.log;
error_log /home/USERNAME/logs/user/nginx/app_error.log;
root /home/USERNAME/.virtualenvs/medialaw;
location /m {
alias /home/USERNAME/media/app/media;
if ($query_string) {
expires max;
}
}
location /s {
alias /home/imanhodjaev/media/app/static;
if ($query_string) {
expires max;
}
}
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_connect_timeout 10;
proxy_read_timeout 10;
proxy_pass http://localhost:PORT/;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /media/50x.html;
}
I've posted this question recently on webfaction Q&A site
http://community.webfaction.com/questions/10535/django-141-serving-static-and-media-with-custom-nginx-build
Thanks,

Problem resolved this is how configuration looks like so far
Nginx
server {
listen MY_PORT;
server_name USERNAME.webfactional.com;
access_log /home/USERNAME/logs/user/nginx/app_access.log;
error_log /home/USERNAME/logs/user/nginx/app_error.log;
root /home/USERNAME/media/app;
location /m {
alias /home/USERNAME/media/app/media;
}
location /s/ {
alias /home/imanhodjaev/media/app/static;
}
location / {
proxy_pass_header Server;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_connect_timeout 10;
proxy_read_timeout 10;
proxy_pass http://localhost:PORT/;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /media/50x.html;
}
Webfaction configuration from control panel
Deleted two static only apps filled required fields and set extra_info for static and media locations respectively.
Thanks,
Sultan
