Amazon Elastic beanstalk : Use nginx/apache to forward subdomains to subfolders

I've created my node.js app on ebs with two subrouters 'foo' and 'bar', currently accessible via 'example.com/foo' and 'example.com/bar'.

I'd like the reverse proxy of ebs to forward the subdomains "foo.example.com" and "bar.example.com" to these subfolders...

i.e. "foo.example.com/xxx" to "example.com/foo/xxx" "bar.example.com/yyy" to "example.com/bar/yyy" etc.

I know how to configure nginx to do this, but I can't figure out to access the nginx config files on EBS...

Someone asked exactly the same thing over a year ago, but it seems EBS has developped a good deal since... would just like to know if this sort of thing is now doable.

you can use Configuration File to customize your nginx configuration.

  1. Create an .ebextensions directory in the top-level of your source bundle.
  2. Create a configuration file, /your_app/.ebextensions/custom.config. Type the following inside the configuration file to configure forward settings. (I have created a gist)
files:
  "/etc/nginx/conf.d/custom.conf" :
    content: |
      server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name foo.chief-motp.com;
        location / {
          proxy_pass  http://nodejs/foo/;
          proxy_set_header   Connection "";
          proxy_http_version 1.1;
          proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
          proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         }
         location /public {
           alias /var/app/current/public;
         }
      }
      server {
        listen 8080;
        server_name bar.chief-motp.com;
        location / {
          proxy_pass  http://nodejs/bar/;
          proxy_set_header   Connection "";
          proxy_http_version 1.1;
          proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
          proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        }
        location /public {
          alias /var/app/current/public;
        }
      }

Another methodology to customize Elastic Beanstalk EC2 instances is using Custom AMI. For more information, you can refer my post.
