How to serve versionned static content with nginx?

I have a React application that is built statically and served by Nginx.

I serve the different version of the application with these 2 location context :

  • This one serves the latest version of the application
location / {
    root /etc/application_development/latest;
    index index.html;
  }
  • This one serves the different versions of the application
location /version {
    root /etc/kosmikpwa_development/$1;
    index index.html;
  }

It works fine but when an application is on /version, it tries to access its assets on /static instead on /version/X.X.X/static

How can I change that in order for the applications on /version to work as expected ?

nginx reactjs build

For versioned builds, before building the app, in package.json of your react app, you need to set homepage like this:

"homepage": "version"

After this change, do not forget to append process.env.PUBLIC_URL to the assets you use from your public folder if there exists one. So, these assets will be bundled according to your homepage defined in package.json.
