Running multiple django projects using docker and nginx - django

Question

I am trying to do the following.
I have 3 django projects (NOT apps) (can be more).
Proj1: On port 8000, Proj2: 8001, and Proj3:8002
This is what I am trying to achieve:
User visits : localhost:8000
All urls under Pr1: Respond
User visits: localhost:8000/Pr2
All urls under Pr2: Respond
User visits: localhost:8000/Pr3
All urls under Pr3: Respond
Goal: Proj 1 is run with Docker and Nginx. Now I have 2 new projects to integrate. Every new sub project should be reached using only one main port (8000). But internally the request is directed towards the correct port of sub-project.
Why this goal: Achieve micro-service style structure. Sub projects (2 & 3) can be reached only after authentication through Proj1.
What have I tried: Honestly no clear idea where to start.
Added new projects to docker-compose...they all work when visited by their own port(localhost:8001/Prj2) ..
With nginx, tried adding a new server. No effect:
server {
listen 8001;
location / {
proxy_pass http://web_socket:8080;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}

If you have "nginx" installed, so you can just create two files (site1.com.conf, site2.com.conf) in the following directory: "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/"
Then add inside this files codes below:
site1.com.conf
# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream site1 {
# server unix:///path/to/your/mysite/mysite.sock; # for a file socket
server 127.0.0.1:49151; # for a web port socket (we'll use this first)
}
# configuration of the server
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 80;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name site1.com; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
charset utf-8;
# max upload size
client_max_body_size 75M; # adjust to taste
# Django media
location /media {
alias /var/www/site1.com/src/media; # your Django project's media files - amend as required
}
location /static {
alias /var/www/site1.com/src/static; # your Django project's static files - amend as required
}
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
uwsgi_pass site1;
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
}
}
site2.com.conf
# the upstream component nginx needs to connect to
upstream site2 {
# server unix:///path/to/your/mysite/mysite.sock; # for a file socket
server 127.0.0.1:49152; # for a web port socket (we'll use this first)
}
# configuration of the server
server {
# the port your site will be served on
listen 80;
# the domain name it will serve for
server_name site2.com; # substitute your machine's IP address or FQDN
charset utf-8;
# max upload size
client_max_body_size 75M; # adjust to taste
# Django media
location /media {
alias /var/www/site2.com/src/media; # your Django project's media files - amend as required
}
location /static {
alias /var/www/site2.com/src/static; # your Django project's static files - amend as required
}
# Finally, send all non-media requests to the Django server.
location / {
uwsgi_pass site2;
include /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params; # the uwsgi_params file you installed
}
}
Then edit "/etc/hosts" and add there two lines:
127.0.0.1 site1.com
127.0.0.1 site2.com
After saving files, restart uwsgi (install if it is not installed) and **nginx**
**service uwsgi restart**
**sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart**
**Note: all your django applications should be in the folder of "/var/www/site1.com/src" and "/var/www/site2.com/src"**
