I wonder your site are using relative paths, if it's not working try this:

server {
    listen       8080;
    server_name  mochawesome;

    root   html;
    index  index.html;

    location /xxx {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/mochawesome-report/mochawesome.html;
        sub_filter '<head>' '<head>\n<base href="/mochawesome-report/">';
    }

    location / {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}

It will change the base tag of mochawesome.html, making all requests from the proxied source to work.

I'm trying to create a web server to share my test results reports using NGINX.

For this, i'm currently using this docker image.

Inside /usr/share/nginx/html/ of this container, i have:

-mochawesome-report

--assets

--mochawesome.html

-Dockerfile

-nginx.conf

My intention is to browse to localhost:8080/api-results/ and see mochawesome.html.

server {

    listen 80;
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;

    location /api-results/ {
        root /mochawesome-report;
        index mochawesome.html;
    }


}

But unfortunately, it doesn't works:

172.17.0.1 - - [16/May/2018:14:21:24 +0000] "GET /api-results/ HTTP/1.1" 404 572 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36" "-"
2018/05/16 14:21:24 [error] 7#7: *1 "/usr/share/nginx/html/api-results/index.html" is not found (2: No such file or directory), client: 172.17.0.1, server: localhost, request: "GET /api-results/ HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"

Also, this is my Dockerfile:

FROM nginx:alpine
EXPOSE 80
WORKDIR /usr/share/nginx/html
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html/
CMD ["/usr/sbin/nginx"]

can you share your Dockerfile it may shed more light on your problem?

@Const Sure. I've updated my questions.

It doesn't works. Pretty much the same problem described above :/ ("/usr/share/nginx/html/mochawesome-report/index.html" is not found)

Did you recreate exactly same steps? Since this was posted from working system. Make sure you don't have web server on host interfering.

by "/usr/share/nginx/html/mochawesome-report/index.html" is not found seems like it expects it in html folder not report-api sub-folder. Either adjust root path or move it to that folder and it should work.
