So I want to use Nginx proxy_pass to reroute my urls, which may or may not have subpaths, to the same port.

For example, .../users should be redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8080/users, but, another url of the form .../users/foo/bar should also be redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8080/users/foo/bar.

I was able to achieve just the /users implementation, but as soon as I type /users/foo/bar, I get a 404 Not Found error.

So far my configuration looks like the following:

location ^~ /users {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/users;
}

I have tried the various solutions from: nginx proxy pass subpaths not redirected

I think you want something like `proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8080$request_uri;` – Dean Coakley May 01 '20 at 16:16
@Deancoakley how exactly can I use that? I have tried searching online for a way that matches my need but to no avail. – devb May 02 '20 at 16:00
