How to configure Nginx reverse proxy rules when installing AnQiCMS in the Baota panel?

As an experienced website operations expert, I am honored to give you a detailed explanation of the exquisite configuration of Nginx reverse proxy rules when installing AnQiCMS on the Baota panel.AnQiCMS is a corporate-level content management system developed based on the Go language, with its high efficiency, security, and SEO-friendly features, it is gradually becoming the preferred choice for many small and medium-sized enterprises and content operators.To ensure that AnQiCMS runs stably and efficiently in an environment like Baota Panel and provides services externally, the correct configuration of Nginx reverse proxy is an indispensable part.

Why does AnQiCMS need Nginx reverse proxy?

AnQiCMS, as a Go language application, usually runs on a specific port, such as the default one8001. It is essentially an application server, and it is not common to expose this port directly, which may also bring some security and management inconveniences.And Nginx is a high-performance web server, skilled at handling static files, load balancing, and reverse proxying.

Imagine, Nginx is like the "front desk receptionist" of your website. When users enter your domain name (such aswww.yourdomain.com), the request will first reach Nginx's80or443(HTTPS) Port. After Nginx receives a request, it does not process all the content directly, but rather judges according to preset rules whether the request needs to access static files (such as images, CSS, JavaScript) or needs to be dynamically generated by the AnQiCMS application.For dynamic page generation requests, Nginx acts like an efficient scheduler, quietly forwarding requests to run on8001The AnQiCMS application on the port. After AnQiCMS processes the request and generates the page content, it will return the result to Nginx, which will then send it to the user.This not only unifies the user's access port, but also improves the stability and security of the website.

The core configuration of Nginx reverse proxy rules in Baota panel

To configure Nginx reverse proxy in Baota panel, it is mainly to ensure that Nginx can correctly forward from80or443The request of the port is forwarded to the AnQiCMS default listening port8001Port. This process involves several key Nginx directives that work together to ensure that AnQiCMS can run as a standard web service.

First, you need to locate your website settings in the Baota panel.Generally, find the corresponding domain under the "Website" menu, click the "Settings" button.After entering the website settings page, you will see a tab related to 'Reverse Proxy' or 'Nginx'.

The core reverse proxy rules will include the following parts:

1. Define the forwarding target of AnQiCMSThis is the most basic step. We need to tell Nginx where to forward the request when it needs to forward it to AnQiCMS.The AnQiCMS runs locally by default8001port, therefore the target address ishttps://en.anqicms.com. Nginx will use alocation @AnqiCMSBlocks define this forwarding logic,proxy_passThe command is responsible for specifying the forwarding target.

2. Pass the correct request header information: To ensure that AnQiCMS can correctly identify the user's IP address, original request domain and other information, Nginx needs to set some additional HTTP request headers when forwarding requests.HostEnsure that AnQiCMS can know which domain the user is visiting, which is particularly important for multi-site management;X-Real-IPandX-Forwarded-ForIt is used to pass the real IP address of the user, to prevent all requests from showing as the IP of the Nginx server. These settings are completed throughproxy_set_headercommands.

3. Handle static files and pseudo-static rules AnQiCMS supports pseudo-static URLs, which means it will handle various seemingly static URL paths.At the same time, the website's images, CSS, JavaScript, and other static resources should be provided directly by Nginx, which is more efficient and can also alleviate the pressure on AnQiCMS.To achieve this, Nginx needs alocation /Block. In this block,try_filesThe directive attempts to find files in order: If the requested URI corresponds to an actual file, Nginx provides the file directly; if it corresponds to a directory inindex.htmlFile, Nginx provides it; if all these are not found, Nginx will forward the request to the one defined before@AnqiCMSBlocks, let AnQiCMS handle dynamic content or pseudo-static routing. Moreover,error_page 404 =200 @AnqiCMS;This line is also very important, it indicates that Nginx should not directly return 404 when encountering a 404 error, but should internally rewrite the request and forward it to AnQiCMS for processing, so that AnQiCMS can handle custom 404 pages or dynamic routes.

Considering the above analysis, in the Baota panel's Nginx configuration, you need to fill in the reverse proxy rule code as follows:

location @AnqiCMS {
    proxy_pass https://en.anqicms.com;
    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;
}

Paste this code into the "Nginx Configuration" or "Reverse Proxy" area of the Baota panel website, then save and reload the Nginx configuration (the Baota panel will usually prompt or execute automatically).Once the configuration takes effect, your AnQiCMS website can be accessed smoothly through the standard domain.
