You have nginx at the front end and tomcat hosted internally at port 8080 and you would like to bring Tomcat to the front end accessible via tomcat.sampledomain.com.

In Tomcat's server.xml, add the following connector.


Code Block
titleserver.xml
linenumberstrue
     <Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000" maxThreads="2000"
               scheme="https"
               proxyPort="443"
               redirectPort="443" />

This is how the new connector looks like below the original connector for 8080 modify to add proxyName and proxyPort to the Connector node.

Code Block
titleserver.xml
linenumberstrue
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />
               
     <Connector port="9090" proxyNameprotocol="tomcat.sampledomain.com" proxyPort="80HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000" maxThreads="2000"
               scheme="https"
               proxyPort="443"
               redirectPort="443" />

In nginx's configuration, add this new site configurations.

Code Block
titlenginx site file
linenumberstrue
server {
  listen          80;
  server_name     tomcat.sampledomain.com;
  root            /opt/tomcat/webapps/;
  underscores_in_headers on;

  location / {
        proxy_pass  http://localhost:80809090/;
		proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header   X-NginX-Proxy    true;
		proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header   Host             $http_host;
        proxy_set_header   Upgrade          $http_upgrade;
        proxy_redirect     off;	
		proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header   Connection "upgrade";
  }
}

OptionallyIn addition to this, if you want may start to make Joget Workflow to load by default (as the root for Tomcat), in server.xml, add the Context node into the Host node. Look at line 8-11.notice in Joget's log file that you are getting local IP address instead of client's real IP address. We will need to add this configuration into server.xml under the host node earlier.

Code Block
linenumberstrue
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteIpValve"
             internalProxies="\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}"
             remoteIpHeader="x-forwarded-for"
             proxiesHeader="x-forwarded-by"
             protocolHeader="x-forwarded-proto" />

Here is the complete host node in server.xml now.
