I spot an issue when trying to configure the server. On the server side I am using Nginx.
The issue is that I got 1 domain and 2 subdomains like:
And these 3 urls are redirected to server with IP by Record A.
All i want to do is recognize from what url the user comes and return:
- if user comes from www.test.com - show static html
- if user comes from api - redirect to nodejs server which will serve data
- if user comes from panel - redirect to nodejs server which will serve html
I don't know how to recognize from what url the user comes. Is it possible to do that? If it is - just if you got some tutorials - i would be grateful! Unfortunately, I checked lots of tutorials, but I wasn't able to manage it.
Just as a information, I'm really bad at that piece (servers and configuration) - but want to learn it :)
Thank you!

The server_name
directive assigns rules to server
blocks for specific domain/host names:
server {
server_name test.com www.test.com;
listen 80; # IPv4
listen [::]:80; # IPv6
root /var/www/static-files;
}
server {
server_name api.test.com;
...
}
server {
server_name panel.test.com;
...
}
Alternatively, the $host
variable could be used within server blocks that serve multiple hosts:
server {
server_name test.com www.test.com
api.test.com
panel.test.com;
return 200 "This hostname is $host";
...
}
