**Goal** : I want to set up a reverse proxy for the `/app/blog` path in my Nuxt app, so that every time a visitor goes to that URL, it loads content from a WordPress instance.

**Questions** :

1. Has anyone successfully implemented this kind of setup before?
2. Is using a reverse proxy my only option for this?
3. Where can I find documentation for setting up a reverse proxy on [Fly.io](http://Fly.io)?

It is how I do it, and I don’t know of a better option. I set nginx up as the exposed port on the container and have it direct the routes to the correct service inside the container.  
People keep asking for documentation on here for stuff that I just don’t think is fly’s responsibility to document. [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) is for once you have a container and need to manage it’s deployment. The container isn’t fly specific at all which is why I love [fly.io](http://fly.io). How to get that working container is outside of the scope of fly IMO. There are lots of resources on how to write a docker build file.

nitro route rules should just work: [Server Routes - Nitro](https://nitro.build/guide/routing#route-rules)

Thank you. Btw, aren’t fly proxy rules better?

Update on this thread - Yes, nitro roules worked, fly replay worked too. However, at 3.75sec to load an empty blog both are way suboptimal solutions.  
Now im learning how to set a simple Nginx server
