Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to run more than one web application on a web server. I understand this often involves using nginx as a reverse proxy. I’ve been interested in rewriting my blog in Elixir/Phoenix, but I want to keep the current blog up while I’m making the changes. So I’ve been stumbling through nginx reverse proxy tutorials. I will be taking notes into this post about various things that I’ve learned about how to set up nginx as a reverse proxy for golang applications like this blog.
Currently my config is below:
Some notes:
