My goal is to use an nginx container to reverse-proxy specific paths to my application(s) running in my vps. I've successfully done it by setting up a nginx container manually, but not when using docker-compose.
With nginx container run manually (successfull) :
sudo docker run -it -d=true --restart=unless-stopped --name=nginx -p=80:80 nginx
then updating the : nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name localhost;
location / {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
}
# custom
location /ping {
proxy_pass http://my-vps-bla-bla.com:13671/ping;
}
}
With this configuration I can successfully call :
curl --location 'http://my-vps-bla-bla.com'✅ (nginx default welcome response)curl --location 'http://my-vps-bla-bla.com/ping'✅ (my service response)
With nginx from docker-compose (unsuccessful) :
sudo docker-compose up -d using the following docker-compose.yaml :
version: "3"
services:
nginx:
image: nginx:latest
ports:
- "80:80"
- "443:443"
volumes:
- ./data/nginx/conf.d/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/
(the mounted nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf is the same as above)
With this configuration, calling my vps on /ping doesn't work
curl --location 'http://my-vps-bla-bla.com'✅curl --location 'http://my-vps-bla-bla.com/ping'❌

I've tried to compare both outputs from sudo docker inspect nginx but I am clueless where I have to look / fix. Here are the two outputs :
sudo docker inspect nginx from the 'manual' nginx container setup
