I have a server with a public IP and I want to access via port 443. I also have a public domain resolving to the server's IP. I have 4 dockers in the server:
- FrontEnd docker: VUE App (port 80:80)
- BackEnd docker: Django App (port 82:80)
- DB docker: Postgres DB (port X)
- Proxy docker: Nginx Proxy Manager (port 81, 443)
Imagine my domain is randomfrontendapp.com. When accessing from a browser to https://randomfrontendapp.com, the Nginx Proxy redirects the request to http://{IP}:80.
When the page is loaded, the FrontEnd makes a call to the BackEnd: http://{IP}:82/givemethings like this: image
There is a problem: The user can't access the BackEnd via HTTP. Maybe the problem can be solved with a subdomain, Nginx Proxy Manager will redirect the request to the backend.
Can it be done without this subdomain?
- Access the server from a browser
- Click a button that executes a script which makes an http.get to the backend
- FrontEnd makes the request to the BackEnd via the Docker network, not forcing the browser to make it from internet.
- FrontEnd recieves the information from BackEnd and updates the page.
