Using NGINX as reverse proxy to webmin on a remote server

[Carsten Laun-De Lellis]

Hi all

I am new to Nginx and I don't get a setup running with one central web server and several webin servers.

The webin servers are setup according the following scheme:

WebminX runs on https://hostX.local.domain:10000.

My goal is to setup a central Nginx server and reverse proxy to the different webmin servers.

Therefor I created the following conf:

server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name nginxhost.local.domain;
        ssl_certificate /certs/ nginxhost.delellis.net.cert.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /certs/ nginxhost.delellis.net.privkey.pem;


        # NGINX usually only allows 1M per request. Increase this to JIRA's maximum attachment size (10M by default)
        client_max_body_size 10M;

        location /host1 {
                proxy_pass https://host1.local.domain:10000/;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_buffering off;
                sub_filter_once off;
        }

        location /host2 {
                proxy_pass https://host2.local.domain:10000/;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_buffering off;
                sub_filter_once off;
        }

}

Unfortunately this is not working. I have checked the internet but found only how-tos where Nginx and webmin server running on the same host. Also these how-tos don't work for me.

I would appreciate any help on this.

Mit freundlichem Gruß / Best regards
