Reverse proxy BlueMap

Here are some examples how you can use an external webserver to reverse-proxy your BlueMap.

This is useful if you want to integrate your map in your website, or want to add SSL-capabilities.

Assumptions / Prerequisites

• You have access to your servers shell (not only the minecraft-console).
• You have your external webserver like NGINX or Caddy already installed.
• The external webserver is running on the same machine as BlueMaps integrated webserver. (If that is not the case you’ll need to replace localhost with the correct ip in the examples below)
• BlueMaps integrated webserver is running on port 8100. (Again, just replace 8100 with the actual port below)

Info:
If you want, you can tell the internal-webserver to only connect to one specific address like e.g. 127.0.0.1, so it is no longer accessible from the outside (by default it just connects to all available interfaces): To do this, just open the webserver.conf and add the ip: "127.0.0.1" setting somewhere.

BlueMap on a subdirectory of your website

You have a normal website hosted on your webserver and want your map on /map (e.g https://mydomain.com/map)…

NGINX

server {

  ...

  location /map/ {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8100/;
  }
}

Caddy

mydomain.com {
   handle_path /map/* {
     reverse_proxy  127.0.0.1:8100
   }
}

BlueMap on a subdomain

You want BlueMap on a subdomain e.g. https://map.mydomain.com/…

NGINX

server {
  listen 80;
  listen 443 ssl;

  server_name map.mydomain.com;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8100;
  }
}

Caddy

map.mydomain.com {
  reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8100
}
