First, you need to modify the Nginx configuration file and add a newserverSet up a reverse proxy for AnQiCMS. Below is an Nginx configuration example, which you can adjust according to your actual situation and place in the Nginx configuration file.httpWithin block:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name yourdomain.com; # 替换为你想使用的本地域名

    location @AnqiCMS {
        proxy_pass https://en.anqicms.com; # AnQiCMS默认监听端口
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }

    error_page 404 =200 @AnqiCMS;

    location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/index.html @AnqiCMS;
    }
}

Please replaceyourdomain.comReplace it with the domain name you wish to test locally, for exampletest.anqicms.local. After saving the Nginx configuration, please restart the Nginx service to make the changes take effect.

Next, you need to modify the MacOS's/etc/hostsfile, and point the local domain configured in Nginx to127.0.0.1. Open the terminal, usesudo nano /etc/hostsCommand edit the file and add the following line at the end:
