Web server configuration

Nginx can be used for SSL termination and reverse proxy.

In /etc/nginx/conf.d/upstreams.conf, create something like:

upstream aprs-to-ws {
    server 127.0.0.1:13254;
}

upstream tileserver {
    server 127.0.0.1:13255;
}

upstream aprsweb {
    server 127.0.0.1:13256;
}

In /etc/nginx/sites-available/aprs, create something like:

location /aprs {
    rewrite ^/aprs(.*) /$1 break;       
    proxy_pass http://aprsweb;
}
location /aprs/ws {
    proxy_pass http://aprs-to-ws;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrad $http_upgrade;                                          
    proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade"; 
}

location ~ ^/aprs/tiles/.* {
    rewrite ^/aprs/tiles/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://tileserver;
}
