There are two web apps running on my home server, one on port 7001 and one on port 3578.

Both apps have some REST API routes that all start with /api.

My NGINX configuration for the two location blocks is as follows:

location /deals/ {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.65:7001/;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
}

location /speed/ {
    include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.65:3578/;
    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
}

This is the result of an entire afternoon of googling and searching …

192.168.1.65 is the local network IP address of my home server.

The problem I am faced with the fact that when these web apps make API calls, they do not make calls relative to their (new proxy) locations, but via the domain URL.

When I navigate https://my-domain.com/deals and https://my-domain.com/speedI can see my web apps at a time.

BUT The data is never loaded because both are calling my-domain.com/api instead of my-domain.com/deals/api or my-domain.com/speed/api. I can see this in the Chrome Development Tools Network tab. Both return 404s.

When I navigate 192.168.1.65:7001I can see my web apps and the correctly loaded data.

If I manually type in the address bar https://my-domain.com/speed/api/exampleI can see that it can correctly answer the GET request with a 200 status code.

How can I have them called from their location?
