upstream portainer {  
server ADDRESS:PORT;  
}

server {  
listen 80;

location /portainer/ {  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection “”;  
proxy\_pass [http://portainer/;](http://portainer/;)  
}  
location /portainer/ws/ {  
proxy\_set\_header Upgrade $http\_upgrade;  
proxy\_set\_header Connection “upgrade”;  
proxy\_http\_version 1.1;  
proxy\_pass [http://portainer/ws/;](http://portainer/ws/;)  
}  
}

Please find this link, as I need to serve content with virtual path for the application and the example as with nginx

Just use the the paragraph below which talks about haproxy. No special configuration is needed.

[https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-can-i-configure-my-reverse-proxy-to-serve-portainer-using-haproxy](https://portainer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-can-i-configure-my-reverse-proxy-to-serve-portainer-using-haproxy)

You can replace:

> acl portainer hdr\_end(host) -i [portainer.127.0.0.1.xip.io](http://portainer.127.0.0.1.xip.io)  
> use\_backend portainer if portainer

With:

> defaut\_backend portainer

if needed.

On behalf of my colleage ppraj (his posts are spammed, dont know why)

Portainer listens on 192.168.2.57:9000 . Now my HAProxy configured on another machine is has been updated with virtual path

```
   frontend http-in
    bind *:80
    option http-server-close
    option forwardfor
    acl has_portainer path_beg /portainer
    use_backend portainer_server if has_portainer

backend portainer_server
balance roundrobin
option forwardfor
server portainer 192.168.2.57:9000

```

When I hit /portainer , page come up with BAD REQUEST. The issue is the actual server does not serve with /portainer. Hence I need to strip /portainer and send the request to backend . So I did this

```
reqrep ^([^\]*\ /)portainer[/]?(.*) \1\2

```

The page does not load either , but now no BAD REQUEST . Instead I just get blank page , but when I press F12 I can see in the console and the request headers coming up . The URL now in there/css , which is not good as it needs to be 192.168.2.57:9000/css , to make it work .

The links in the page still points to 192.168.2.57:9000 , which is the actual server where it is hosted fails subsequently

Hi, I am newbie and have a query to related to same topic.

NGINX handling for 10080

Hi Umpathy Girirajan,

I found your name in haproxy user list. I am newbie to haproxy and  
trying to convert the below nginx config to haproxy.  
server {  
listen 10080;  
listen [::]:10080;  
server\_name localhost;

```
    error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root html;
    }

```

#To pass a request to an HTTP proxied server  
location / {  
proxy\_pass http://[::1]:10088;  
proxy\_set\_header Host $host;  
proxy\_redirect http://[::1] http://$host;  
}

```
}

```

haproxy equivalent:

frontend fe\_http\_sne\_in  
bind 0.0.0.0:10080  
bind :::10080  
option forwardfor  
default\_backend be\_sne\_insecure

backend be\_sne\_insecure  
mode http  
http-request set-header localhost  
option forwardfor  
server srv01 localhost:10088

Is this correct??

Please let me know.

thanks,
