Reverse Proxy for Panels

Use Case

This configuration is helpful, if you want to build a reverse proxy in front of specific panels without having to expose the full Broadcast Suite GUI to the outside.

This example configuration

• creates a reverse proxy in front of Broadcast Suite
• grants access to the login page
• grants access to a single panel
• creates a short url / alias for a single panel
• prohibits access to all other pages

Configuration

/etc/nginx/conf.d/broadcastsuite.conf

server {

    listen 80;
    server_name broadcastsuite.mydomain.corp; 
    
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000; 
    
    proxy_http_version 1.1; 
    proxy_read_timeout id; 
    proxy_connect_timeout 4; 
    proxy_send_timeout id; 
    
    # Broadcast Suite Assets
    location ~* ^/(_blazor|_content|_framework|css|img|js|webfonts) { 
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    } 
    
    # Authorize Login
    location /Account { 
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    } 
    
    # Allow access to a specific panel
    location /Panels/View/fd9addc6-af75-4cf2-b8d9-7ae7f81d8f77 { 
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
    } 
    
    # Short URL for a single panel 
    # Replace __PANEL_ID__ with the corresponding panel ID
    location /my_panel/ { 
        return 301 /Panels/View/__PANEL_ID__;
    } 
}
