You will be much happier if your nginx/app1/ application believes that
it is installed at appserver/app1/, and not at appserver/.

For jenkins, use the jenkins "prefix" argument. For other apps, use
whatever their config/install options are.

The easiest way is not to have to rewrite anything.

If jenkins is installed at /jenkins, then your nginx config will be
pretty much "proxy_pass http://jenkins:8080;", unless you specifically
want nginx to handle some of the static files instead of jenkins.

Good luck with it,
