How to configure an Nginx reverse proxy host that points at a webserver subdirectory? (alien.top)

My Daminion webserver runs at daminion.mydomain.com/daminion. If I omit the trailing /daminion, I land on the default IIS webserver screen.

I have NPM configured for daminion.mydomain.com on the Details tab, and on the Custom Locations tab I have the Location set to /, Scheme is http, forward host is nuc11.mydomain.com/daminion/, and port is 80.

When I attempt to navigate to the proxy host, NPM is taking me to daminion.mydomain.com/daminion/daminion (the subdirectory is appending twice). Any ideas why this is happening? I'm following the instructions listed in the comments on this page.

without seeing your Nginx.config it will not be possible to help. you can also run curl with -vv and troubleshoot. I assume you just get two re-directs that append the path based on existing path, so you are doing the re-direct twice somehow. I don't know what Daminion or NPM are.

however its possible to route traffic in nginx with location and a normal proxy_pass.
