Forward http port to another port in same machine according http header?

Question

I'm planning make two websites in same machine. Which first website running on port 8433 and second website running on port 9433

Im using ubuntu 20.04 Assume i have two domains, let's say foo.me and bar.me Both domain is pointed to same public IP and different SSL.

consider there's an incoming request to port 80 or 443

if HTTP header contain foo.me then the request will forward to port 8433

if HTTP header contain bar.me then the request will forward to 9433.

What's your software stack? On linux the above can be achieved with haproxy, nginx, traefik, kong, many other proxies or traffic routers/ingress controllers with varying levels of complexity. Is your goal minimal solution? or long term management, support and monitoring quality of service? — Egidijus, Oct 20 '21 at 11:44
Does this answer your question? How can I forward requests from my web server? — Gerald Schneider, Oct 20 '21 at 12:50

as you have two https sites you need to have two virtual hosts so no need to examine http header again. As in reply pointed by Gerald above the best is to setup it this way (for nginx):

server {
  listen 443;
  server_name foo.me;
  root /var/www/html;
SSL options left out for simplicity
location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8433/;
  }
}
server {
  listen 443;
  server_name bar.me;
SSL options left out for simplicity
location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9433/;
  }
}

same for port 80 - hust replace number in "listen" and don't put SSL related directives

Okay so i must delete apache and start using nginx – Muhammad Ikhwan Perwira Oct 20 '21 at 13:08
No, you can configure the same in Apache. See the linked question for examples. – Gerald Schneider Oct 20 '21 at 13:09
