Nginx config template for serving static frontend bundle, along with local api server

temp.config

upstream http_backend {
  # INNER SERVER LOCAL IP:PORT
  server 127.0.0.1:1337;
}
server {
  listen   80;
  server_name #YOUR SERVER IP OR DOMAIN;

  # STATIC FRONTEND FILES
  location / {
    root /home/ # YOUR PATH TO STATIC FILES;
    index index.html;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
  }

  # PATH TO API THAT IS BEING SERVED FROM INNER LOCAL SERVER
  location /api {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/api;
    proxy_redirect off;
  }

  # ANOTHER PATH FROM LOCAL SERVER
  location /auth {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/auth;
    proxy_redirect off;
  }

  # WORKAROUND TO PREVENT NGINX TO BLOCK LOCAL POST REQUESTS FROM STATIC FILES e.g. login page
  error_page 405 =200 "/auth/${uri}";
