I have the following server blocks...
user nginx;
worker_processes auto;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid /run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
include snippets/self-signed.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
server_name secondave.net www.secondave.net;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name _;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
}
}
}
However I would expect this to work...
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
include snippets/self-signed.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
server_name secondave.net www.secondave.net;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name _;
}
But if I try to do it this way the reverse proxy doesn't work anymore. Why is it requiring the proxy_pass both places?
Here is me trying to call the endpoint without the proxy_pass in the port 80 block as well...
[ec2-user@... nginx]$ curl --insecure https://secondave.net
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
Notice the Welcome to nginx!, this is not what the proxied site says. When I add it back again I see the expected site again...
[ec2-user@... nginx]$ sudo vi nginx.conf
[ec2-user@... nginx]$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
[ec2-user@... nginx]$ curl --insecure https://secondave.net
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charSet="utf-8"/><title>THEJa
This is using AWSLinux2023 which I believe is part of selinux and nginx is installed using yum.
Additional Info
[ec2-user@... ~]$ cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
