To host multiple servers behind Nginx, you can use a reverse proxy configuration. Here are the steps to follow:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
server { listen 80; server_name example.com; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; // The address of your server proxy_set_header HOST $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } |
After following these steps, Nginx will act as a reverse proxy, routing incoming requests to the appropriate server based on the domain name specified in the configuration blocks.

Here are the steps in a more detailed, organized format to effectively host multiple servers behind Nginx:
Step 1: Install Nginx You can install Nginx on your server using the package manager of your operating system. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run:
1 2 |
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nginx |
Step 2: Configure Nginx
Open the Nginx configuration file located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
in a text editor (e.g., nano
, vim
, or gedit
).
Step 3: Remove Default Server Configuration
Find and remove the default server configuration block in the nginx.conf
file. Look for a section that starts with server {
and ends with }
and delete it.
Step 4: Create New Server Configuration Blocks For each server you want to host, create a separate server configuration block. Here is an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
server { listen 80; server_name example.com; location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000; // Replace with your server's address proxy_set_header HOST $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } } |
Replace example.com
with your domain name and update the proxy_pass
directive to point to the address of the server you want to host.
Step 5: Repeat for Additional Servers Repeat step 4 for each additional server you want to host, creating a new server configuration block for each server.
Step 6: Save and Exit
Save the changes to the nginx.conf
file and exit the text editor.
Step 7: Restart Nginx Finally, restart Nginx to apply the new configuration changes:
1
|
sudo systemctl restart nginx |
With these steps, Nginx will act as a reverse proxy, routing incoming requests to the appropriate server based on the domain name specified in the configuration blocks. Make sure to test the configuration and update DNS records accordingly for each domain.
