Docker Nginx returns 404 for proxy_pass endpoint

us flag

On a separate PC (which has the locally accessible only IP 192.168.1.148), I have 3 containers: docker_compose_ui, docker_compose_web_console & nginx

Two of the containers are listening on ports but have not been forwarded to the host:

docker_compose_ui 5000/tcp
docker_compose_web_console 8888/tcp

Nginx is forwarded:

nginx 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, :::80->80/tcp

docker_compose_ui & docker_compose_web_console are on network backbone.

nginx is on networks backbone and outward.

Anything on backbone are not meant to be host-forwarded, thus not public accessible.

Anything on outward are meant to be host-forwarded, thus public accessible.

EDIT: To clarify, when I say public, I just meant outward from the host machine, I have not actually forwarded any ports to the internet via my router, yet.

If I inspect the network backbone I can see the IP addresses:

nginx 172.21.0.4/16
docker_compose_ui 172.21.0.2/16
docker_compose_web_console 172.21.0.3/16

If I inspect the network outward I can see the IP address for mginx, 172.22.0.2/16.

If I curl from nginx to docker_compose_ui:

 docker exec nginx curl http://docker_compose_ui:5000

I get a html response and Ok, so docker_compose_ui is both reachable from nginx and resolvable.

If I do docker exec nginx nginx -T I can see that the config is being loaded by nginx (last server directive).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
