How can I run Orthanc behind nginx?
===================================

Similarly to :ref:`Apache <apache>`, Orthanc can run behind `nginx
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nginx>`__ through reverse
proxying. Here is the configuration snippet for nginx::

    server {
       listen  80  default_server;
       ...
       location  /orthanc/  {
          proxy_pass http://localhost:8042;
          proxy_set_header HOST $host;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          rewrite /orthanc(.*) $1 break;
       }
       ...
    }

.. _nginx-cors:

Enabling CORS
-------------

It is also possible to enable `cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing>`_ with
nginx::

    server {
       listen  80  default_server;
       ...
       location  /orthanc/  {
          proxy_pass http://localhost:8042;
          proxy_set_header HOST $host;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          rewrite /orthanc(.*) $1 break;
          add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
          add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type';
          add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
          add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
       }
       ...
    }
