Previous title: Use Docker Nginx container to proxy website on another machine in local network
I would really like to access my 3D Printer (OctoPrint) from outside. It is currently accessible at http://192.168.1.198
at my home.
I have docker setup on another server, and my home's port 80 & 443 is pointing to that one. On that server, I am using Traefik to forward all the domains & subdomains to whatever container needs it.
So I thought, well, what if I just create another Nginx container where is just proxy to OctoPrint. Guess what, it doesn't work that easily.
Currently my docker-compose.yml
looks like this:
version: "2"
services:
web:
image: nginx
restart: always
networks:
- traefik_proxy
volumes:
- ./default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
labels:
- traefik.enable=true
- traefik.http.routers.manuele0.entrypoints=http
- traefik.http.routers.manuele0.rule=Host(`<my-site>.`) || Host(`www.<my-site>`) || Host(`3d-printer-1.<my-site>`)
- traefik.http.routers.manuele0.middlewares=to_https
# Redirect to main domain
- traefik.http.routers.manuele1.entrypoints=https
- traefik.http.routers.manuele1.rule=Host(`<my-site>`)
- traefik.http.routers.manuele1.tls=true
- traefik.http.routers.manuele1.tls.certresolver=le
- traefik.http.routers.manuele1.middlewares=redirect_to_manuele
- traefik.http.middlewares.redirect_to_manuele.redirectregex.regex=^https:\/\/([^\/]*)\/(.*)
- traefik.http.middlewares.redirect_to_manuele.redirectregex.replacement=https://www.<my-site>/$${2}
- traefik.http.routers.manuele.entrypoints=https
- traefik.http.routers.manuele.rule=Host(`www.<my-site>`) || Host(`3d-printer-1.<my-site>`)
- traefik.http.routers.manuele.tls=true
- traefik.http.routers.manuele.tls.certresolver=le
networks:
traefik_proxy:
external: true
And the Nginx configuration:
# <here is another proxy to my GitHub page, which works and is not related to this problem>
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name 3d-printer-1.<my-site>;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.198;
# proxy_http_version 1.1;
# proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
# proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
# proxy_set_header Connection $proxy_connection;
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 $proxy_x_forwarded_proto;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl $proxy_x_forwarded_ssl;
# proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $proxy_x_forwarded_port;
proxy_intercept_errors on;
expires off;
}
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
#
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
}
http://192.168.1.198
doesn't work, so how else could I proxy to it?
