How to forward static requests through nginx?

Question

Nginx

Hello! Can you please tell me how to redirect nginx requests for static?
example: a user asks us for an image from the site site.ru/uploads/image.jpg
and nginx pulls the image from another address, for example cdn.site.ru/image.jpg
How to do this?
In general, I just want to connect to CDN Selectel, but I can’t find a travel guide anywhere.

Answer 1

proxy_pass
Only you are doing something weird. CDNs are usually connected just to offload their server, so that clients go for static bypassing your server.

Answer 2

proxy_pass module

Hey!
Selectel has a "Cloud storage" section in its knowledge base - https://kb.selectel.ru/23136007.html . There are instructions on how to work with the repository and distribute static data.
Inside there is a subsection "Using a CDN" - https://kb.selectel.ru/24380446.html (how to connect CDN Selectel, which providers have CDNs in general, about clearing the cache and disabling).
There is also a large CDN section - https://kb.selectel.ru/42077358.html. There, in general, about everything and instructions for connecting.
If you need advice on working with nginx or need to implement something specific, you can register in the control panel https://my.selectel.ru/login/and write a ticket with questions - the guys from technical support will try to give advice.
