nginx, scope, and relative paths that reverse proxy to sinopia

[MystK]

I spent a whole day on this and I'd like to share what I did so when others search here, they find a solution. I'm not sure if this the best possible place, so please direct me to the correct place if not. :)

Scenario:
You want to use nginx, scopes(@Company), and relative path (https://companydomain.com/sinopia) to sinopia.

What you have to do is smartly edit your nginx.conf

  location /sinopia/ {
    if ($request_uri ~* "^/sinopia(.*)$") {
      proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:4873$1;
    }
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:4873/;
  }

The if statement doesn't rewrite your "%2f" into a "/". You need this because you want to pass your packages as @scope%2fPACKAGENAME.

Definitely more complex than what I had to do getting it to work with a general purpose proxy a year ago - haven't seen this solution before, but it's like the 3 or 4 time I've seen these issues posted (nginx proxy / scoped variables). Thankfully nothing has require more than 2 or 3 lines of code (although it's tricky). I wish there was like a wiki or something posted on the Readme at least to let people know how to work around the proxies the scoped variables - I was able to do it a year ago by changing small part of the express app and the config.yml, but anyways thanks for sharing this - it bypasses having to modify the source and fork this library

nm separate issue
