I am trying to reverse-proxy an ejabberd connection manager with nginx in docker.
Following is my docker-compose file
version: '2'
services:
nginx:
image: nginx
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
depends_on:
- ejabberd
links:
- ejabberd
ejabberd:
image: ejabberd:16.04
depends_on:
- mysql
ports:
- "5280:5280"
links:
- mysql
mysql:
image: mysql:5.6
ports:
- "3306:3306"
The images nginx, ejabberd:16.04 and mysql:5.6 are available in my local docker.
Following is my server config file which is included in the nginx.conf file
upstream ejabberd-server {
server ejabberd:5280;
}
server {
# regular silverstripe things here
# location should match your JabberPage::BOSHUrl
# with a leading slash
listen 80;
#server_name oops.hereim.co
location /http-bind {
# Local ejabberd with http-bind
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://ejabberd-server;
}
}
But when I try to access the url http://192.168.99.102/http-bind
I get the error 404 not found.
Am I missing something in the configuration above?
192.168.99.102 is the IP of my docker machine.
docker-compose exec nginx ping ejabberd
The above command returns a reply.
The upstream has to be setup to host ejabberd as nginx and ejabberd are not on the same ejabberd container.
If you see the docker-compose.yml, the ejabberd and mysql connection works fine and I am able to connect to mysql from ejabberd. But there seems to be some missing piece while connection nginx to ejabberd.
The issue is probably due to an nginx issue. nginx does not pick up .conf files under the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory.
I had to change the file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and enter the location inside that file. This solved my problem for this question.
The next action item is to check why nginx does not read conf file from /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
