So, I have a VPS of Ubuntu 16.04.4 with 4 LXD containers.

Each container has to be accessed over the internet. How can the reverse proxy help me?

So if my VPS is accessed as http://www.myserver.com Ideally I'd like to be able to use this format for accessing the internal LXD containers:

http://www.myserver.com/joe to access container 1
http://www.myserver.com/frank to access container 2
http://www.myserver.com/pete to access container 3
http://www.myserver.com/bill to accesss container 4

Is this possible with nginx as a reverse proxy?

Thanks,

Ray

Here is a little more detail in the attached jpg.

4 LXD containers were created on the Ubuntu 16.04 VPS.

So I want to be able to access a container based on the incoming query to the VPS.

If incoming query is http://x.x.x.x/LPC1 nginx should route to container 1. If LPC2, container 2, etc.

The containers are all app servers, no websites.

And I am not sure I formatted the incoming query ( http://x.x.x.x/LPC1) correctly?

Thanks,

Ray
