如何配置Nginx在同一域上同时服务Rails应用程序和Angular

Question

I'd like to use Nginx to serve both my Rails (using passenger) and an Angular front end.

Basically, all requests that goes to / should be directed to Rails and every request that goes to /admin/* should be redirected to a Angular App.

I've found this question that would theoretically be exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately Dmitry's answer is a bit vague for someone (like me) who doesn't know much (next to nothing) about Nginx.

EDIT: Here's the Nginx configuration that I have tried:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;

    server_name 178.62.92.199;
    passenger_enabled on;
    passenger_app_env development;
    root /var/www/netturing/public;

    # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name _;

    location ~ ^/admin/ {
            proxy_pass http: /var/www/client/admin;
    }

    location / {
            proxy_pass http: /var/www/netturing/public;
    }

}

Could someone extend the answer a bit?

Thanks!

I think haproxy it's a better tool to do this.

But I have some rails apps in standalone passenger server with nginx in front.

My suggested nginx config:

server {

  # some config directives
  ...

  # Al turrón !

  # Angular App
  location ~ ^/admin/ {
    proxy_pass http://<URI TO ANGULAR APP>;
  }

  # Rails App
  location / {
    proxy_pass http://<URI TO RAILS APP>;
  }
}
