Hosting multiple websites on one server? #2645

This seems like a super basic question but I’ve looked and looked and I can’t seem to find the answer. I have a (separate) Nginx container (on the same host as my NPM container) and I want to host multiple static websites on it. On that server, I have:
/www/larry
/www/curly
/www/mo

The test page in /www loads just fine but I want to configure 3 proxy hosts so that…
mo.mydomain.com goes to /www/mo
curly.mydomain.com goes to /www/curly
etc.

Please tell me how to set this up - and once it is setup, the url to access it. The web server is listening on 10.10.10.100:3380. Everything I’ve tried so far hasn’t worked.

Hello,

So, you must to configure individual vhost on your server:

If you use apache, you can try to create different vhost on different ports, example:

Apache2
Set the the ports would you like to use, for distinct vhost.

/etc/apacha2/ports.conf

my ports.conf

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Listen 80
Listen 81
Listen 82
<IfModule ssl_module>
	Listen 443
	Listen 4443
	Listen 4433
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
	Listen 443
</IfModule>

i am using multi https ports for multi https vhosts

<IfModule ssl_module>
	Listen 443
	Listen 4443
	Listen 4433
</IfModule>

and multi http port for multi http vhost

Listen 80
Listen 81
Listen 82

on /etc/apache2/sites-available
i have specific files for specific domain

domain01.acme.com

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName domain01.acme.com
        ServerAlias www.domain01.acme.com
	ServerAdmin [email protected]
	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain01.acme.com
	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

domain02.acme.com

<VirtualHost *:81>
        ServerName domain02.acme.com
        ServerAlias www.domain02.acme.com
	ServerAdmin [email protected]
	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain02.acme.com
	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

domain03.acme.com

<VirtualHost *:82>
        ServerName domain03.acme.com
        ServerAlias www.domain03.acme.com
	ServerAdmin [email protected]
	DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domain03.acme.com
	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

On proxy manager, you just only must configure your proxy hosts, based on port

Example:

add proxy host :

DETAILS:

domain names: domain01.acme.com
scheme: http (if you create https apache vhosts, set to https and custo port - remember ports.conf)
Forward Hostname / IP: 10.1.1.100 (server example)
Forward Port: 80 (because i created http vhosts, like examples above)
Block Common Exploits: yes
Websockets Support: yes

SSL:

SSL Certificate: Select ou create a new certficate
Force SSL: yes
HSTS Enable: yes
HTTP/2 Support: yes
HSTS Subdomains: yes 
SAVE

add proxy host :

DETAILS:

domain names: domain02.acme.com
scheme: http (if you create https apache vhosts, set to https and custo port - remember ports.conf)
Forward Hostname / IP: 10.1.1.100 (server example)
Forward Port: 81 (because i created http vhosts, like examples above)
Block Common Exploits: yes
Websockets Support: yes

SSL:

SSL Certificate: Select ou create a new certficate
Force SSL: yes
HSTS Enable: yes
HTTP/2 Support: yes
HSTS Subdomains: yes 
SAVE

add proxy host :

DETAILS:

domain names: domain03.acme.com
scheme: http (if you create https apache vhosts, set to https and custo port - remember ports.conf)
Forward Hostname / IP: 10.1.1.100 (server example)
Forward Port: 82 (because i created http vhosts, like examples above)
Block Common Exploits: yes
Websockets Support: yes

SSL:

SSL Certificate: Select ou create a new certficate
Force SSL: yes
HSTS Enable: yes
HTTP/2 Support: yes
HSTS Subdomains: yes 
SAVE

You can use virtual IP address

Like as the configuration above, you need to configure you server with multi IP address.

1 Method:

Multi NICs

2 Metrod:
-Virtual NICs with different ip address

If you user multi ip config, your /etc/apache2/ports.con, must to contain what's IP listen on port.
The multi IP address, permit tu use the same port, bind on specific IP

Example ports.conf.

# If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also
# have to change the VirtualHost statement in
# /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

Listen 172.16.0.10:80
Listen 172.16.0.11:80
Listen 172.16.0.12:82
Listen 172.16.0.13:81

<IfModule ssl_module>
	Listen 172.16.0.14:443
	Listen 172.16.0.15:443
	Listen 172.16.0.16:4433
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gnutls.c>
	Listen 443
</IfModule>

Or you can use custom locations
