Reverse Proxy with Apache for Node.js

I've been trying for hours (unsuccessfully) to get a reverse proxy via Apache for my Node.js application. The application is Send https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send I am almost at the end of my rope, the proxy works, but always shows me only an almost empty application. https://ibb.co/8MNTZm0

This is my Apache configuration The one for port 80 just forwards

  GNU nano 7.2                   send.furrysend.de-le-ssl.conf
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>

ServerName send.furrysend.de

ProxyPass / http://185.216.179.27:8080
ProxyPassReverse / http://185.216.179.27:8080
ProxyPreserveHost On

SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/send.furrysend.de/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/send.furrysend.de/privkey.pem
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

I would be very happy about help, I strongly think that it is only due to certain switches in the settings.

The IP address can be used to see what it should look like http://185.216.179.27:8080/ address is already redirected

I had already tried nginx without success

I have already tried every conceivable switch without success. I just don't understand why it doesn't work

Solution

  • If the proxy start url has a trailing slash, your target url also needs a trailing slash

    As your proxy is on the public/main directory & not a sub-directory (Just /) it in itself is a trailing slash. Therefore you need to add trailing slash to the target url too:

    ProxyPass / http://185.216.179.27:8080/
ProxyPassReverse / http://185.216.179.27:8080/
ProxyPreserveHost On

    I replicated the same issue on my side & tested the above to confirm it works. The output after adding trailing slashes: Output with trailing slashes
