Learning Continuous Integration with Jenkins - Second Edition

Adding reverse proxy settings to the Nginx configuration

The following steps will help you to add reverse proxy settings to the Nginx configuration:

1. Open the Nginx configuration file for editing:

        sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

2. As we're sending all requests to our Jenkins server, comment out the default try_files line, as shown in the following code block:

        location / { 
          # First attempt to serve request as file, then 
          # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. 
          # try_files $uri $uri/ =404; 
        } 

3. Next, add the proxy settings as shown here:

        location / { 
          # First attempt to serve request as file, then 
          # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404. 
          #try_files $uri $uri/ =404; 
          include /etc/nginx/proxy_params; 
          proxy_pass ...
