How to setup the location to match static files

[cianiandreadev]

Hi all.

I have a service composed by multiple dockers.
One of it is a nodejs server and it's mapped to the /api path in nginx-proxy-manager as following:

While the frontend is configured like this:

EVERYTHING works correctly (both frontend and backend) and the apis are all correctly working.

The Problem is regarding static files served by the backend.

When I upload a file using a POST to the /api (trough a multipart-form-data) the file is PERFECTLY received and stored by the backend, while when I GET the file (the path is like .../api/upload/myfile.png) I receive a 404.

I tested the backend locally without nginx-proxy-manger and it works without problem (POST and GET), but as soon as I put nginx-proxy-manager in front of it the GET is returning 404. I think this could be caused by the .png extension at the end, therefore I think it could be solved by using a regular expression that matches all the routes that start with /api.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks a lot in advance 🙂
