nginx server connecting to docker containers running laravel - php

Question

I need to configure an nginx server to connect to multiple docker networks for different projects. As of now, I am trying to connect nginx to one docker network.
The docker network has php (laravel) and mysql in two different containers.
Here is the nginx configuration:
upstream web {
server 127.0.0.1:9000;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name tinyurl.abc.org;
root /home/azureuser/app/url-shorterner/public;
ssl_certificate /home/azureuser/app/certs/abc.org.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/azureuser/app/certs/abc.org.key;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log error;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
error_page 404 /index.php;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass web;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /tinyurl/public$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
deny all;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name tinyurl.abc.org;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
The docker-compose.yml file has the following:
version: '3.8'
# Services
services:
# Web (Application) Service
web:
build:
context: ./.docker/web
args:
HOST_UID: $HOST_UID
container_name: tinyurl-web
ports:/
- '9000:9000'
volumes:
- '.:/var/www/html'
depends_on:
mysql:
condition: service_healthy
# MySQL Service
mysql:
image: mysql/mysql-server:8.0
container_name: tinyurl-mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: '${DB_ROOT_PASSWORD}'
MYSQL_ROOT_HOST: '${DB_HOST}'
MYSQL_DATABASE: '${DB_DATABASE}'
MYSQL_USER: '${DB_USERNAME}'
MYSQL_HOST: '${DB_HOST}'
MYSQL_PASSWORD: '${DB_PASSWORD}'
MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: 'no'
volumes:
- ./.docker/mysql/my.cnf:/etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf
- mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql
healthcheck:
test: mysqladmin ping -h 127.0.0.1 -u root --password=$$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
interval: 5s
retries: 10
# Scheduler Service
scheduler:
image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
container_name: tinyurl-scheduler
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./.docker/scheduler/config.ini:/etc/ofelia/config.ini
depends_on:
- web
volumes:
mysqldata:
driver: local
The problem seems to be in the routing of the request. The index.page within the public folder of laravel shows up, but none of the other static pages are showing up. Also, the routing of the requests is not happening correctly.
Looks like the fastcgi configuration is not okay.
Can anyone help with this, and point me to what needs to be done to the nginx configuration to route to the web container having laravel.

In your nginx config, replace 127.0.0.1 with the service name in your docker-compose
upstream web {
server web:9000;
}
server {
...
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass http://web;
...
