[SOLVED] pimatic with nginx

---

Could somebody write a short howto to use pimatic behind a nginx reverse proxy?

Solution:

location /pimatic/ {
        rewrite ^/pimatic/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host 'YOUR.DOMAIN.COM';
        proxy_redirect http://YOUR.DOMAIN.COM/ https://YOUR.DOMAIN.COM/pimatic/;
        sub_filter '"/' '"/pimatic/';
        sub_filter_once off;
}

location / {
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
	proxy_set_header Host 'pimatic';
}

I never got it to work properly when trying to forward https://wan/pimatic/ to http://pimatic.lan/

hmm, no one?

Just tested with

location /pimatic {
	rewrite ^/pimatic/(.*) /$1 break;
	proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
}

but the interface didnt load corrent

I got the same when running a reverse proxy on my server to the raspberry(pimatic). It only loads text, no graphics.

Try the solution from http://serverfault.com/questions/350012/apache-proxypass-missing-images
nginx and apache are quite similar.

thy for reply. but iis still not working

Damn!

Its probably not possible to use a subdirectory (yourhost/pimatic). Try to use an subdomain instead (pimatic.yourhost):

The nginx config from demo.pimatic.org:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name demo.pimatic.org;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
        proxy_redirect off;

        # Socket.IO Support
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    }
}

Now its working with the root dir.

	location / {
		proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
		proxy_set_header Host 'pimatic';
	}

i thing some image paths in pimatic are not relativ, so the nginx shows no pictures with redirect roules.

FOLKS ITS DONE

It works with the following config

location /pimatic/ {
        rewrite ^/pimatic/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:80;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host 'YOUR.DOMAIN.COM';
        proxy_redirect http://YOUR.DOMAIN.COM/ https://YOUR.DOMAIN.COM/pimatic/;
        sub_filter '"/' '"/pimatic/';
        sub_filter_once off;
}

I tried using the sub_filter approach and it does not work. For some reason ‘"/’ is not matching correctly, and thus is not replaced. If I put ‘/assets/’ instead it works, but I don’t really like it (also I would need to add a sub_filter for each thing that’s wrong).

@abmantis hmm its work like charm in my setup with subdir. try to delete all old cached files.

@n3ro weird… what versions of nginx and pimatic are you using?

Please post your log files from nginx and pimatic

@abmantis Ever found out what the problem was?
My Nginx is acting the same way.

I got it running with direct call www.domain.com and with www.domain.com/pimaitc.
But how can I realize to have on www.domain.com an welcome screen and only on www.domain.com/pimaitc my pimatic login with grafics?

Nobody? The hook is to have www.domain.com/pimaitc with grafics. Have tried may possibilities, but no one works.
Either the GUI was not loaded correctly or I wasn’t able to have the two ways www.domain.com with welcome or what ever and www.domain.com/pimaitc.

I ended up making a subdomain, couldn’t get it to work otherwise.

I just can’t get rid of this point. It must be somehow possible to run pimatic behind a NGINX proxy in a subdomain. Obviously it also runs somehow, but there is still the topic with the GUI rendering. Is this a problem of NGINX or pimatic?
