We are running n dockerized java application on a host. To be more flexible we decided to use Consul as a service registry to easily expose services from the app itself. Services and also JMX metrics (both http) are exposed through a nginx reverse-proxy (config is generated by consul-template).
Now we have the need to connect to a specific container via JMX (SimpleJMX is implemented) to manage beans. Only ports from nginx and consul containers are exposed to the host.
How can I connect to a specific container through nginx? Is there any other option?
