Front Tomcat with NGINX - tsgrp/HPI GitHub Wiki

NGINX Example

The below configuration assumes an Alfresco server running on port 8080 and an OpenAnnotate Tomcat server running on port 9080. The nginx server is configured to run on port 8888.

Important notes:

• On the proxy_pass configuration for the /alfresco/ location, the lack of a / following http://127.0.0.1:8080 is important as this will allow the full URL to be redirected (including URL params).
• proxy_pass configurations should use fully qualified IPs instead of hostnames if you want to avoid IPv4 vs IPv6 resolving delays.
