reverse proxy

From apache2.conf:

https://hub.docker.com/_/php
# Note that the use of %{X-Forwarded-For}i instead of %h is not recommended.
# Use mod_remoteip instead.

Enable the remoteip module:

sudo a2enmod remoteip

/etc/apache2/conf-available/remoteip.conf

RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
RemoteIPTrustedProxy 192.168.0.0/16

sudo a2enconf remoteip

ProxyRequests Off
SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On

ProxyPass / https://example.com/    <-- note trailing slash!
ProxyPassReverse / https://example.com/    <-- note trailing slash!

To achieve:

• http://example.com/app1 –> http://service1.local:8081
• http://example.com/app2 –> http://service2.local:8082

It is complicated. Needs rewriting of content body and fix all links to local resources. It is better to make 1:1 reverse proxy and configre remote service to work under location (folder):

• http://example.com/app1 –> http://service1.local:8081/app1
• http://example.com/app2 –> http://service2.local:8082/app2

If not possibe to reconfigure remote service server you can try to use proxy_html module which can rewrite content and fix URL mappings.
