如何将 Nginx 配置为反向代理来执行 this.network 模式？

Question

I have two Docker instances running Wordpress and my Nodejs application separately in the same machine.

Now I want to set up Nginx to accept connections only on my domain (mydomain.com). So if users access to mydomain.com/ they should be redirected to wordpress container, and if they access to mydomain.com/customer, the request should be redirected to Nodejs app container.

This schema explains the idea:

I am not very good at Nginx and it is being so difficult for me to edit the config. file to match that schema. Also I dont find any kind of examples or documentation to achieve this configuration. Is it so weird?

It is the very common nginx usage example. The very basic setup you need is

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain.com;
    proxy_set-header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://<docker1_address:port>;
    }
    location /customer {
        proxy_pass http://<docker2_address:port>;
    }
}
server {
    # this would be the default server for all requests
    # where HTTP Host header is missing or not equal to 'mydomain.com'
    listen 80 default_server;
    # close the connection immediately
    return 444;
}
