Use NGINX to redirect to one UI only?

Hi I’m following this tutorial on OH2 official web page : http://docs.openhab.org/installation/security.html#nginx-reverse-proxy

My question is I just want my domain to redirect to localhost:8080/habpanel/index.html#/ only. Because the other UIs don’t appeal much to me.

How can I edit the nginx conf file to do that? I try to replace “http://localhost:8080” by “http://localhost:8080 localhost:8080/habpanel/index.html#/” but the result always say : “Connection lost” on my web browser

Please HELPPP!

I’m trying to do the same. Just want to check if someone has solved it.

I think you’d be better redirecting another address eg: http://localhost:8088 to habpanel and keep the option to access 8080 for paperui and rest api

4

Its about accessing default habpanel from internet. Access other UIs can be achieved from local network so no need to create multiple locations.

5

I would like to know it too, localhost:8080/habpanel/index.html# to a simple http://rpi3 would be awesome

Has anyone been able to figure this out? I have mine set up as habpanel.mydomain.local but get the dreaded “connection lost” and I think it’s because it’s trying to access files outside of the /habpanel directory (like /rest) but can’t reach them because the folder doesn’t exist under /habpanel, it’s above it in the directory structure. If there was a way to have all 404 errors redirect to servername.mydomain.local:8080/path in NGINX I think it would work but i’ve had no luck figuring out how to do that.

I have also set up openhab.mydomain.local to redirect to servername.mydomain.local:8080 and all dashboards work fine this way but having to select which one every time is kind of annoying if i’m not using a bookmark.

Can you post a copy of etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yourfile?

Do you have multip!e? I believe you need a minimum of two. The default one and your custom one.

This would be required for any assistance.

Sorry, I have both a default one and a Habpanel one. Both habpanel.mydomain.local and openhab.mydomain.local resolve just fine from both the openhab box and the client. It’s honestly probably wrong but i’ve had such a hard time trying to find a good tutorial on this scenario with NGINX so any input is greatly appreciated:

Habpanel (loads but gets “connection lost” because it can’t reach habpanel.mydomain.local/rest)

server {
       listen 80;
       listen [::]:80;

       server_name habpanel.mydomain.local;

       root /var/www/html;

       index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
       location / {
                proxy_pass http://openhab.mydomain.local:8080/habpanel/;
                proxy_buffering                       off;
                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-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;
       }
}

Default (this works fine with all UIs)

server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        # SSL configuration
        #
        # listen 443 ssl default_server;
        # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
        #
        # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
        #
        # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
        #
        # Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
        # Don't use them in a production server!
        #
        # include snippets/snakeoil.conf;

        root /var/www/html;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name _;

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                #try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
                proxy_pass http://openhab.mydomain.local:8080/;
        }
# the rest of the default file comments
}

I was able to hack it to work with the following config, but there must be a better way than to keep adding location blocks every time there’s a bad URL

# Virtual Host configuration for example.com
# 
# You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that
# to sites-enabled/ to enable it.
#
server {
       listen 80;
       listen [::]:80;

       server_name habpanel.mydomain.local;

       root /var/www/html;

       index index.html index.htm;
       location /rest/ {
                proxy_pass http://openhab.mydomain.local:8080/rest/;
       }
       location /static/ {
                proxy_pass http://openhab.mydomain.local:8080/static/;
       }

       location / {
                proxy_pass http://openhab.mydomain.local:8080/habpanel/;
                proxy_buffering                       off;
                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-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;
       }
}

I believe the problem lies with calling the habpanel site /

I need to look at this on my end, I have a couple thoughts. Not sure I can achieve what i am thinking though.

Hello everybody,
Do you find a solution ? I have the same problem. I need to load only one panel : habpanel. I need to block all except habpanel… because i don’t want someone delete something in paperui or other…

Thanks

I got it working :slight_smile:

This is my nginx-config-File:

 server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        server_name home.nst;

        return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        listen [::]:443 ssl;
        server_name home.nst;

        ssl_certificate         /etc/ssl/local/home.nst/home_nst_190203.bundle.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key     /etc/ssl/local/home.nst/home_nst_190203.key;

        location /rest/ {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/rest/;
        }
        location /static/ {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/static/;
        }

        location = / {
                return 301 /index.html#;
        }

        location / {
                proxy_buffering                       off;
                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-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/habpanel/;
        }
}

Just add the “location = /”-part and it should work.

None of the above solutions worked for me using Openhab 3.4.
What finally worked after a lot of experiments is:

server {
	listen 80;

	server_name your.server.name;

	location /rest/ {
		proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/rest/;
	}
	location /static/ {
		proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/static/;
	}

	location / {
		proxy_pass                            http://localhost:8080/habpanel/;
		proxy_buffering                       off;
		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-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;
		proxy_read_timeout                    3600;
	}

}
