Jenkins + Nginx + sub domain without context

Question

I would like to access jenkins via my.domain.fr without never see the "jenkins" context. Is this possible exclusively with Nginx configuration ?

I have found some interesting links :

• Can't configure nginx as a proxy for tomcat with context path
• https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+behind+an+NGinX+reverse+proxy
• https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Running+Jenkins+behind+Nginx

But it doesn't work. The best I can have is a direct access to jenkins from my.domain.fr, and as soon as I click somewhere the "jenkins" context appears. My configuration works but seems ugly because a duplication. Moreover I got the jenkins message :

It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken

This message is due to the "jenkins" context added on the proxy_pass. But I don't know how I could do without it.

Current configuration :

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name my.domain.fr;
  return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

server {
  listen  443;
  listen  [::]:443;
  server_name my.domain.fr;

  location /jenkins/ {
    proxy_set_header        Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080/jenkins/;
  }

  location / {
    proxy_set_header        Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080/jenkins/;
  }
}

server {
  listen 80;

}

server {
  listen  443;
  listen  [::]:443;
  server_name my.domain.fr;

  location / {
    proxy_set_header        Host $host:$server_port;
    proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    proxy_pass              http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
  }
}

Anything going to / is being passed to /jenkins, which is causing your issue. Simply remove the /jenkins block and update your proxy_pass declaration. This should resolve your issue, though you may still need to tweak some Jenkins internal settings.
