Is it possible to pass in a variable such as $server_addr into proxy_pass.
proxy_pass http://$server_addr:8096/;
If I do this, I run into issues where it doesn't load. Is this possible on what I'm doing?

What is the problem you are having? – Michael Hampton Mar 08 '21 at 05:32

Have you tried using `127.0.0.1`? – Richard Smith Mar 08 '21 at 07:36

@RichardSmith I get bad gateway when I try to access the website. I need the local IP. – SpenserWilson1 Mar 08 '21 at 08:14

@MichaelHampton If I use localhost or 127.0.0.1, I get a bad gateway. The reason I want to use a variable is that I'm trying to make this dynamic rather than static. – SpenserWilson1 Mar 08 '21 at 08:15

You're trying to solve the wrong problem the wrong way. You first need to start the web app which is supposed to be listening on that port, or fix its configuration so that it listens on the port you want. – Michael Hampton Mar 08 '21 at 18:03
