I watched, readed tons of tutorials, tons of videos, let me say THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! You are the only one who shows reverse proxy with more than one service and with thoses services interacting with HTTP requests ! I want to cry man ^^ Again thank you very much for that awesome tutorial. PS : Which tool did you use to make your Diagram, it renders very nice ;)
Please cover the follwoing questions : 1. What is reverse proxy 2. Why do we need it 3. How we can setup nginx to handle different ports, ips 4. How we can map frontend and backend api with nginx 4. Security aspect 5. Alternative of nginx 6. How is it different than k8s ingress
Such a great video to learn more about not only Docker but also how to manage and setup a reverse proxy using Nginx! The only thing I would like to point out is that you can use "expose" on the docker-compose.yml for all those services except the nginx, as if it was a production environment, you would only want the reverse proxy to be visible to the host (rather than exposing the other ones to your host as well). Using "expose" will not publish the ports to the host machine - they’ll only be accessible to linked services (in this case the reverse proxy). Anyway, a small tip, but I really loved this video and your explanation. Keep the good work! :)
Thanks. I'm trying to dockerize Nuxt-Django-MariaDB-Nginx. I have read a lot of information and I have saw meny video tutorials. In this journey your tutorial has unraveled many things for me.
It's really really awesome that you structured these large multi container projects using the same templates as a single app (weather app). I don't know if the word is innovative but it's really helpful and easy to grasp.
Thank you so much for this great video and well explanation. I learned a lot from your video. For you guys who Fork/Clone this nice project in early 2022, it seems like using node:latest in the weather_report dockerfile will not work because an issue of Node 17+ and OpenSSH (ref to a question in Stackoverflow). I fixed node version as 16.14.0 then it works great.
Hello guys, great videos Wes, can anyone help me with a problem i have? I need to be able to see the changes when I write new code for example on vue, if I change the the html and refresh the localhost, nothing is showing, i need to rebuild all the containers! How can i solve this? Thanks
Nice job mate, keep it going. Maybe one small improvement detail, you could have maybe just touched a bit on how the requests are proxied by Nginx to the different containers. All in all, great vid. :D
These ops videos are so well done. Nginx has been such a black box to me and this has changed that. Any chance you can compare docker/containerization with infrastructure-as-code? It'd be nice to see how these strategies complement/compete with each other. Great work as usual!
I need a organized way of hosting my vps and home server so thanks for the info. I think it's better to limit the initial steps when you make a tutorial. If you start with just the docker proxy and then add an application at a time it would be easier to process the information. 😉
I like your channel and the explanations, if you can please consider these four aspects WHAT, WHY, WHEN and HOW. I specifically wants to learn .net core + docker on Linux + K8s.
Great video! I have a follow-up question: What's the optimal approach to achieve the same outcome in a Kubernetes environment, specifically on EKS? Suppose I want to expose only the front-end application through Ingress without exposing the back-end application. What would be the recommended method for accomplishing this?
Thanks for the great demo, it's helped me a lot with what I am doing right now. I have a question though, why is your axios sending the request to "localhost" and not to "reverse-proxy" that is defined in your docker-compose. By sending to localhost, is it not sending to the nginx that is installed in the Vujs container itself and not the one acting as the reverve proxy? Thanks
not a bad explanation here. one thing 'off' i notice. there's no reason to map the container ports to your host ports unless your planning to actually use the host ports
Hello man, Thank you so mcuh for your video, it already helped me so much. Your tutorial works perfectly how it is. However, when I try to use proxy_pass with a REGEX to match a URL, i get the "no resolver defined to resolve" error and a 502 error. Can you please give me a hint ? Thanks in advance.
Hi so informative video, there is nginx container on the top of the tree serving subcontainers and also there is second nginx container serving specifically Vue app if that's right can I serve Vue app without second nginx config only through the top most nginx container or the second nginx image is required for serving Vue container ?
Thanks for the to the point explanation !! There's one thing I do not understand, our Vue app can communicate to the backend servers alone right? what is the use of reverse proxy? generally in a web application we have a client and then we have a server, our client is hosted somewhere so is our server, we expose APIs from server , and we call them from the client giving proper hostname and API path making a complete URL. So, our client app is hosted and when a user clicks a button, our client app (Vue app here) will call the services. Where the proxy comes in place here and why do we need it? I am trying to compare a simple web app architecture with these dockerized version using nginx.
I used nginx outside of docker ( installed in my host ) to make sure site is available even when I'm restarting docker etc.. Do you think it's a good approach ? I blocked published ports of the apps inside docker in firewall.
im trying to do the same with apache, but for some reason i only get the default "It works" page, locally it works find. but not when I build and upload it to aws with docker compose
Thank you for this great tutorial! One question though, why did you still open the ports for weather-report, temperature-service and precip-service when it is being handled by reverse-proxy?
I have a rest api and I have a script I found online that makes it so that the front end waits for the backend in docker compose but once the backend runs the front end times out or gives me a code 1 error. I have extended the timeout time but it now gives a code 0 error. How do I solve this?
For some reason it is having trouble resolving my container... I get " [error] 31#31: *2 no resolver defined to resolve *container name* " when sending a request to my nginx container
Hi, how can I enhance the nginx-proxy response times, multi-threading, and throughput? which parameters should I modify in host config or nginx.conf file to do achieve that? Thanks in advance.
What you talking about. He completly went off topic just had to show its 3 docker containers running and which ports they were on, Instead went through a docker compose file etc. Docker ps would have been enough

Hi Hemanshu Khodiyar, I've been meaning to get around to building a Laravel project for a long time now. I'll put it in the queue of ideas for future videos! Thanks for the message. 😀
Is there any possible way to make it work when the python flask app is running on 127.0.0.1:5001 instead of 0.0.0.0:5000? I think it is impossible on Windows docker... (I tried using nginx to reverse proxy... does it work for you??)
So I have a server where I have multiple services running as different containers, I have the ports all mapped to a port on the server, and then the microservices referenced by a different location for each in my Nginx conf file, however, only the first container is reachable by the location. the rest seem to fail to load some files such as /usr/share/nginx/html/Content/Fonts/fonts.css or venders.js in the same location... I don't know if these were set up by the container or what but I'm not sure how to get them to cooperate with the reverse proxy.
not really sure what I'm doing wrong. The only thing I'm doing differently than you is that my stuff is hosted on an external box instead of on the same machine.
@@WesDoyle Is that mandatory, when u have reverse proxy or not? How the frontend app can know the microservices endpoints, if there is no nginx for the frontend....
New to Docker - trying to understand the image concept. I'm on Nginx in Docker Hub (hub.docker.com/_/nginx/?spm=5176.doc53764.2.3.gm0FWx) but theres no reference to nginx:1.17.10 that your reverse_proxy container utilises.

Why did you define "container name" in compose file? If this is set, containers cannot be scaled up ( multiple instances of the same container).
Good point, MRK! If I was going to update this intending to scale those services, I would update to remove container name from the compose file.
what if the microservices have diffrent yml file and the nginx has its own instead of making it just one file
So what does the remote address variable need to be set as for X forwarding?
