React-router and nginx

I am transitioning my react app from webpack-dev-server to nginx.

When I go to the root url "localhost:8080/login" I simply get a 404 and in my nginx log I see that it is trying to get:

my-nginx-container | 2017/05/12 21:07:01 [error] 6#6: *11 open() "/wwwroot/login" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 172.20.0.1, server: , request: "GET /login HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"
my-nginx-container | 172.20.0.1 - - [12/May/2017:21:07:01 +0000] "GET /login HTTP/1.1" 404 169 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0" "-"

Where should I look for a fix ?

My router bit in react looks like this:

render(

  <Provider store={store}>
    <MuiThemeProvider>
      <BrowserRouter history={history}>
        <div>
          Hello there p
          <Route path="/login" component={Login} />
          <App>

            <Route path="/albums" component={Albums}/>

            <Photos>
              <Route path="/photos" component={SearchPhotos}/>
            </Photos>
            <div></div>
            <Catalogs>
              <Route path="/catalogs/list" component={CatalogList}/>
              <Route path="/catalogs/new" component={NewCatalog}/>
              <Route path="/catalogs/:id/photos/" component={CatalogPhotos}/>
              <Route path="/catalogs/:id/photos/:photoId/card" component={PhotoCard}/>
            </Catalogs>
          </App>
        </div>
      </BrowserRouter>
    </MuiThemeProvider>
  </Provider>, app);

And my nginx file like this:

user  nginx;
worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;


events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}


http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

    access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

    sendfile        on;
    #tcp_nopush     on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

    #gzip  on;

    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

    server {
        listen 8080;
        root /wwwroot;

        location / {
            root /wwwroot;
            index index.html;

            try_files $uri $uri/ /wwwroot/index.html;
        }


    }
}

EDIT:

I know that most of the setup works because when I go to localhost:8080 without being logged in I get the login page as well. this is not through a redirect to localhost:8080/login - it is some react code.

The location block in your nginx config should be:

location / {
  try_files $uri /index.html;
}

The problem is that requests to the index.html file work, but you're not currently telling nginx to forward other requests to the index.html file too.

Here are my solutions

simple trying:

location / {
    root /var/www/mysite;
    try_files $uri /index.html;
}

no more trying for non-html types:

location / {
    root /var/www/mysite;
    set $fallback_file /index.html;
    if ($http_accept !~ text/html) {
        set $fallback_file /null;
    }
    try_files $uri $fallback_file;
}

no more trying for non-html types and directory (making try_files compatible with index and/or autoindex):

location / {
    root /var/www/mysite;
    index index.html;
    autoindex on;
    set $fallback_file /index.html;
    if ($http_accept !~ text/html) {
        set $fallback_file /null;
    }
    if ($uri ~ /$) {
        set $fallback_file /null;
    }
    try_files $uri $fallback_file;
}
