Configuring nginx to check for hard files in only a few directories,
- by Evan Carroll
For a node.js project I'm doing, I have a tree like this.
+-- public
¦ +-- components
¦ +-- css
¦ +-- img
+-- routes
+-- views
Essentially, I have the root to be set to public. I want all requests destined to
/components/
/css/
/img/
To check to see if their appropriate destinations exist on disk. However, I don't want requests to other directories to even run an IO operation,
/foo/asdf
/bar
/baz/index.html
None of those should result in the disk being touched.
I have a stansa that does the proxy to node.js,
location @proxy {
internal;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://localhost:3030;
proxy_redirect off;
}
I just would like to know how to arrange this. My problem would be easily solved if try_files took a single argument, but it always wants a file first.
location /components/ { try_files $uri, @proxy }
location /css/ { try_files $uri, @proxy }
location /img/ { try_files $uri, @proxy }
However, there is nothing that I can find that will give me,
location / { try_files @proxy }
How do I get the effect I want?
