nginx reverse proxy not working

I am attempting to deploy an app to the internet via nginx reverse proxy. My app is completely containerized and my nginx configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available matches the shinyproxy example here: https://www.shinyproxy.io/security/

server { listen 80; server_name shinyproxy.yourdomain.com; rewrite ^(.*) https://$server_name$1 permanent; }

server { listen 443; server_name shinyproxy.yourdomain.com; access_log /var/log/nginx/shinyproxy.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/shinyproxy.error.log error;

ssl on; ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/yourdomain.com.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/yourdomain.com.key;

location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;

   proxy_http_version 1.1;
   proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
   proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
   proxy_read_timeout 600s;

   proxy_redirect    off;
   proxy_set_header  Host             $http_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;
 }

}

My domain has https certification and if I visit my domain I see the “Welcome to nginx!” screen. However, after I launch my app to listen on port 8080 with the command: docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --net wind_net -p 8080:8080 wind_container if I visit my domain I still see the “Welcome to nginx!” screen. Nginx is not passing my domain through to my shiny application. Any ideas on why the proxy reverse is not working? Have I launched my containerized shiny app to the wrong port?

I have solved the issue. Nginx was not displaying the shinyproxy app because I had neglected to link my nginx configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled. After linking my configuration in both directories with the ls -s command and removing the default configuration file from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled the shinyproxy app was displayed at my domain.

For the record it is ln -s [sic], but thanks for sharing the feedback and good that your issue is solved!
