So I’ve been stuck for quite a while and would appreciate any help to try and find a solution.

I have a docker environment with nginx, rabbitmq and some other containers. The idea is to use the nginx as a proxy. So far so good, but when trying to open specific Exchanges or Queues I’m getting error 404 not found. I’ve checked documentation and tried multiple provided solutions but can’t get it to work. The docker compose file exposes only the 5672 port for listening, the management port is not exposed (due to security reasons) and the connection is via the internal docker network. Current nginx config file:

http {
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

Example request being sent when trying to open a certain exchange or a queue via the Web interface:
https://example.com/rabbitmq/api/exchanges/%2F/test?msg_rates_age=60&msg_rates_incr=5
Request Method:
GET
Status Code:
404 Not Found
Remote Address:
IP:443

The same is when trying to create a new exchange/queue but there is error 405 Method Not Allowed (it’s trying PUT method, most likely not specifically related to the issue above)

I’ve tried multiple rewrite options and also changing the location patterns and so on but nothing worked.
