Share port with other services

TIP

To read and use this chapter** you must know reverse proxy of Nginx or other software and basic Linux operation and maintenance knowledge**.

If you want MCSManager and other services to use the same port, there are the following solutions:

• Use different domain names sni to distinguish.
• **Add URL path prefix to localize the service. **

This section mainly explains the second type.

What is URL path prefix?

For example: the URL when accessing the MCSManager panel is http://localhost:23333/. If you configure the URL prefix to /mcsm/, the panel's URL becomes http://localhost:23333/mcsm/.

Suppose you also have a service called Jenkins and set the path prefix to /jenkins/. At this point you can merge the two services via a reverse proxy.

For example, reverse proxy to https://example.com[:443], then you can access the MCSM panel through https://example.com/mcsm/ and also through https://example .com/jenkins/ to access Jenkins.

Reverse proxy

For the configuration of Nginx, see Configuring HTTPS.

What we need to do now is to modify the location item in the original configuration. For example, if your path prefix is /mcsm/, then replace the original

location/{
     #...
}

Change to

location /mcsm {
     #...
}

Just restart nginx.

Change configuration

The prefix item in the [Configuration File] (config_files) of Daemon and Web programs is the path prefix configuration item.

Change it to your desired path prefix and restart MCSM. When you visit again at this time, you will find that you have been automatically redirected to the corresponding page with the path prefix added.

WARNING

The path prefix should start with /, such as /mcsm/.

TIP

The / at the end of the path prefix is recommended.

If not added, such as /mcsm, then /mcsmapi/xxx will also be matched and processed as /api/xxx.

Next, after the Daemon adds the path prefix configuration and restarts, you will find that the panel cannot successfully connect to the remote node.

At this time, you need to enter the Node menu in the panel, select the corresponding node, click the Settings button, and fill in the corresponding Path Prefix item. If filled in correctly, you should be able to connect to the Daemon program normally after saving.
