How to configure a server with multiple Tomcats?

Question

Nginx

There is a local test server on which several Tomcats work at the same time (Actually 12). Each with one web application. Please tell me how correct is the option to install nginx as a proxy for tomcats. Or suggest a better solution. Thank you!

Answer 1

My situation is a bit different. Namely, on different Tomkata servers,
and nginx acts as a revers-proxy and ssl encryption.
Nginx (configured with upstream proxy pass)

location / {
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_pass http://tomcats  /;
  }

And on tomcats like this:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443"
         proxyName="apps.com"
               proxyPort="443"
                />

And everything works fine.
