Making the same website accessible from the subdirectory

Question

I want my same website to accessible from a subdirectory. For example, right now my website is

https://example.com

What I want is, that it should also be reachable using:

https://example.com/hi

That means each path that is accessible from https://example.com should also be accessible from https://example.com/hi. How could I do this. Here is what I tried in my server config.

    location /hi {
          proxy_pass https://example.com
    }

Right now, if I try https://example.com/hi, it gives out Bad Gateway. What is it that I should be doing?

Answer 1

Instead of using proxy_pass did you try using rewrite?

location /hi/ {
 rewrite ^/hi(/.*)$ $1 break;
}
