2.4. Configuring NGINX as a reverse proxy for the HTTP traffic

Procedure

1. Edit the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file and add the following settings to the server block that should provide the reverse proxy:

   location /example {
       proxy_pass https://example.com;
   }

   The location block defines that NGINX passes all requests in the /example directory to https://example.com.

2. Set the httpd_can_network_connect SELinux boolean parameter to 1 to configure that SELinux allows NGINX to forward traffic:

   # setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

3. Restart the nginx service:

   # systemctl restart nginx
