Try_files and proxypass

Server NGINX

Hi,

I came across such configs and I am curios to know what @app_$dc;
matches
in location configs?

try_files $uri @app_$dc;

location @app_prod { proxy_pass http://app_prod;}
location @app_qadc { proxy_pass http://app_qadc;}

Thanks
ar

Presumably somewhere else in the config, $dc is set to either prod or
qadc.

try_files expands variables – for example $uri – before testing.

location @app_prod { proxy_pass http://app_prod;}
location @app_qadc { proxy_pass http://app_qadc;}

It will use whatever location @app_$dc expands to on this request.
