Access services (like Photos, Drive, etc.) directly behind Reverse Proxy

[paranerd]

Hi all,

I've set up my NAS behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy.
Everything's running nicely accessing https://syno.example.com. I would, however, like to directly access certain services using https://drive.syno.example.com.
I tried the following in Nginx:

location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.x.x:5000/?launchApp=SYNO.SDS.Drive.Application;
}

but that only gave me a blank page.

Any suggestions on how to pull this off?

Best regards.

Use the application portal first (tab before reverse proxy). Configure that app on a custom port of your choice and save it.

Then jump to reverse proxy tab and create a host that will point your desired name towards that custom port.
