How to host a complete Laravel application thru a domain "subfolder", when using Nginx_proxy_manager:
For this example, I suppose you have an nginx_proxy_manager instance (docker container) setup, and that you want to make an application which is served by another web server container at its root (say: http://web-container/) in a subpath of the nginx_proxy_manager proxy host entry.
Create a custom location:
- define the path (ex: foobar/)
- make it point to the application serving the Laravel application you wish to access (web-container/ be careful to include the /)
- modify the advanced settings and insert the following directives:
rewrite /foobar/(.*) /$1 break;
sub_filter 'https://www.example.com' 'https://www.example.com/foobar';
sub_filter_once off;
proxy_redirect 'https://www.example.com' 'https://www.example.com/foobar';
