Running sinatra program [Kibana] behind nginx reverse proxy in web directory

Question

I'm trying to get Kibana to run behind nginx within a specific web directory. Or, put another way, I'm trying to have nginx reverse proxy http://example.com/kibana to http://localhost:5601/, which is where the Kibana sinatra app is running.

I've started Kibana with an init script, and if I curl the localhost url from the server, I get the expected response. However, navigating to http://example.com/kibana/ gives me the message of Sinatra doesn’t know this ditty. and a suggestion that /kibana/ should do something. Presumably, this is a routing issue.

My nginx config is simply this:

server {

    listen   [::]:80 default ipv6only=on; ## listen for ipv6

I have one modification on the previous answer.

proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5601;

Replace by

proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5601/;

try this: https://serverfault.com/a/379679/82682 (eventually replace '/foo/Kibana-0.2.0')

location /kibana {
    # rewrite before passing to proxy
    rewrite /kibana/(.*) /$1  break;
    proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5601;
    # include nginx' proxy-defaults
    include proxy_params;

    # serve static stuff directly from the static-directory
    location /kibana/favicon.ico {
        alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/favicon.ico;
    }
    location /kibana/images {
        alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/images;
    }
    location /kibana/lib {
        alias /foo/Kibana-0.2.0/static/lib;
    }
}
