Thanks Sergey for the detailed explanation. I have modified the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/loadbalancer.conf file (nginx server running in
loadbalancer mode). The upstream backend -> tead-local.com:80 is hosted on
docker based container running nginx service (version :- 1.21.6)
##############################loadbalancer.conf###############################################
server {
listen 80;
server_name testbe.mydomain.com;
error_log /var/log/nginx/nginxdebug.log debug;
location / {
# Define the upstream servers for load balancing
proxy_pass http://backend;
# Set HTTP headers
proxy_set_header Host $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;
error_log /var/log/nginx/nginxlocationdebug.log debug;
}
}
upstream backend {
server tead-local.com:80;
}
