```auto

...
server {
                                                listen 8000;
                        server_name somedomain 192.168.1.200;

#location / {
# root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# index index.html;
# }

                location / {

proxy_pass http://192.168.1.253:7860;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
        proxy_redirect off;

                }

        }

```

here is the folder path version which FAILED:

```auto
location /test {

proxy_pass http://192.168.1.253:7860;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
        proxy_redirect off;

                }

        }

Maybe this could help someone to configure [reverse proxy for Gradio](https://www.cloudbooklet.com/draggan-ai-editing-tool/#nginx-configuration-for-gradio-optional).
