I am trying to redirect a example.com/minio location to minio console, which is run behind a nginx proxy both run by a docker compose file. My problem is that, when I’m trying to reverse proxy the minio endpoint to a path, like /minio it does not work, but when I run the minio reverse proxy on root path in the nginx reverse proxy, it works. I seriously cannot findout what the problem might be.

This is my compose file:

services:
  nginx:
    container_name: nginx
    image: nginx
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
      - ./log/nginx:/var/log/nginx/
  minio:
    image: minio/minio
    container_name: minio
    volumes:
      - ./data/minio/:/data
    command: server /data --address ':9000' --console-address ':9001'
    environment:
      MINIO_ROOT_USER: minio_admin
      MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: minio_123456
    ports:
      - 9000
      - 9001
    restart: always
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-file: "10"
        max-size: 20m
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://127.0.0.1:9000/minio/health/live"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 20s
      retries: 3

My nginx configuration is like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    # To allow special characters in headers
    ignore_invalid_headers off;
    # Allow any size file to be uploaded.
    # Set to a value such as 1000m; to restrict file size to a specific value
    client_max_body_size 0;
    # To disable buffering
    proxy_buffering off;


    access_log /var/log/nginx/service-access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/service-error.log debug;

    location / {
        return 200 "salam";
        default_type text/plain;
    }
    location /minio {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

        proxy_connect_timeout 300;
        # Default is HTTP/1, keepalive is only enabled in HTTP/1.1
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        chunked_transfer_encoding off;

        proxy_pass http://minio:9001;
    }
}

The picture I’m seeing of minio console at the domain is this:

And the response of curling the endpoint ($ curl -k http://example.com/minio):

  1. minio doesn’t work under non default path like location /minio

    You need to use
    location / {
    ….
    proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
    }
    or add another server block to nginx with subdomain like this

    server{
    
    listen 80;
    
    server_name minio.example.com;;
    
         location / {
           proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
           proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
           proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
           proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    
           proxy_pass http://localhost:9001;
       }
    }

    if you use a nginx docker container, add this file to /etc/nginx/conf.d and remove the existing default.conf file in same directory.
