So you want the request to nginx of "/mesh/" to become a request to your
upstream server of "/"?

It can be done; however, I suggest that you will find things easier
to reverse-proxy if you can configure the mesh server to expect that
its root is /mesh/, so that it exposes its api at /mesh/api/v1 and it
redirects to /mesh/mesh-ui/

"~" is not "starts with". You probably want "^~" there instead.

If you want the request to upstream to be "/mesh/", use that. Otherwise, use

proxy_pass http://meshproxy/;

> proxy_redirect off;

You probably do not want that. Perhaps "proxy_redirect default;"; perhaps
something else based on whatever the mesh service actually returns. From
your example, you may want

proxy_pass / /mesh/;

Good luck with it,
