How to remove port number from url, and add slug with node app?

Question

I have deployed nodebb application on nginx, and trying to combine with my site.

My site is http://example.com. I successed to show node app on http://example.com:4567 either http://example.com(port number removed).

However, I'd like to show them with the url like http://example.com/nodebb.

I tried like the code below.

config.json

{
    "url": "http://example.com/nodebb",
    "secret": "secret",
    "database": "mongo",
    "port": 4567,
    "mongo": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": "27017",
        "username": "nodebb",
        "password": "pass",
        "database": "nodebb"
    }
}

nginx.conf

location / {
    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;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1/nodebb:4567;
    proxy_redirect off;
    # Socket.IO Support
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}

However, it returned "not found". I have no idea how to make new slug and put node app into it. Any help is appreciated.

You have the right answer to the problem, you just need to add more options to your proxy_pass to completely resolve your problem.
