I am new to server stuff, i want to host multiple rest service using docker and nginx.

Let's say i have three service that runs on 8180, 8181 and 8182. I am able to forward request to one port but i have no idea how to tell nginx to forward to specific ports based on the url.

Lets say:

https://testsite.com/api/v1/products -> access product service

https://testsite.com/api/v1/orders -> access order service

https://testsite.com -> access webpage (vuejs)

Do i need to create api-gateway and route them by its url and runit inside docker?

Are there any best practice on how to this?

Thanks.

    You cannot come here and expect full education on how to use nginx, as that's your homework. In short you need a server block to handle https://testsite.com and then within it, multiple location blocks for different URL patterns so that requests can be forwarded to services (proxy_pass). There are books and tutorials you can find over the internet, and examples like https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/full/ – Lex Li Dec 15 '22 at 06:50
