Omg thank you! I threw in the towel on coding after not being able to get my reverse proxy working properly. I picked it back up today and this was huge! TYSM!

This is honestly the way to go if you're gonna be doing any type of dynamic content but wanna retain the speed and use of NGINX. Apache on the backend, NGINX on the front.

I have a quiestion, is ngnix installed on the same server you have the application running on, or is ngnix running by itself on a separate server

Hi Tony, based on this kind of setup (nginx as reverse proxy with apache web server), does this mean that when I configure my Wordpress, it will be hosted by apache?

I hope you get to see my comment/question and your video really inspired me to dive-in to debian. Thanks and more power!!!

Hello Tony, I just built the same Infrastructure as you did just locally on VirtualBox and without a domain configured (everything is running on localhost). Somehow I’m still able to access the website over the port 80 and 8080, even with the virtualhost configured only on 8080 and listening to 8080. Do you have any idea how I can solve the problem? How are you able to see if the client is accessing the reverse proxy or directly the webservice? Great content btw.
Greetings

Hello, i have nuxt and nginx install and working but when i go to different request than the main, nginx show "Not found 404", i think that is because of proxy_pass. How i can solve it ? How i can get request path and variabels from request to change in proxy_pass.

So, how do I do this with Docker for ease of development between a live server and localhost?

Hello Tony. I know that I am a little late getting to the party so-to-speak. Your presentation was clear and precise. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with us. Followed your instructions to the letter. However, I still have to use the :8888 after the URL. If I simply enter the URL I am directed to another server that I am running here at my place. It is hosting several websites under HestiaCP.

hey Tony,
That was a nice explanation.
Moreover, I am into the backend (Java) Development and wished to start learning dev-ops-related concepts.
so do we have a designed series for it?

Thank you so much, Tony! Can I set the Apache server name to Domain?
