I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy so I can access my different servers from outside my nat. My /etc/nginx/sites-available/reverse-proxy.conf looks like
server {
listen 80;
server_name torrent.website.org
access_log /var/log/nginx/torrent_website_com_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/pp_website_com_error/log;
location / {
proxy_pass
}
}
The dns is pointing at the correct address but it doesn't seem to be forwarding properly. I've tried with open port 80 on UFW and UFW disabled completely. I feel like I'm missing something obviose but I'm not sure what. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Maybe your backend servers are listening to a server name instead of IP. Try this
location / {
proxy_set_header HOST $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass
}
