[DOCKER] How to limit IP address only to a specific directory with laravel + nginx

When you set up a web server with laravel and nginx, you often want to limit IP addresses only to specific directories. : frowning2: IP address restriction can be done on the laravel side, but I did not find many setting examples when setting it with laravel + nginx, so I summarized it.

If the number of IP addresses you want to allow is one, place it appropriately

if($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] !== "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"){
   abort(403);
}

Anyway, I should write it, but as the number increases, it gets a little annoying. If additional IP addresses are specified on a subnet-by-subnet basis. .. .. : joy:

Prerequisite laravel + nginx environment construction

Docker Nginx laravel

For the environment construction of laravel + nginx + docker, which is the premise of this article, refer to this @ ucan-lab's god article.

Laravel + nginx configuration file that limits IP addresses only to specific directories

I have omitted the parts that are not related to the settings, so please refer to the above God article for the settings of nginx.

nginx.conf

    #The following two are the basic settings for running laravel on nginx.
    #All requests are indexed as laravel root.Redirect to php
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    # .Process php files with fastcgi
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    #This is the main subject of directory IP restrictions.
    # admin/Example of restricting directories
    location /admin/ {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        # allow ip list
        allow xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
        allow yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
        deny all;
    }

Setting points

If only the following location settings are used, nginx will try to display the files under / admin / as they are, so it will not work as laravel.

    location /admin/ {
        allow yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy;
        deny all;
    }

So I had to rewrite the settings to redirect to index.php in location.

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

Of course, you can also specify by subnet.

allow 192.168.1.0/24;

However, since the security settings of the entire application will be distributed to multiple places, in the controller under / admin / or route.php etc.

IP address restriction is done on the nginx side

If you comment, ** your future self ** and the ** successor ** who took over will be saved. e? Do you usually know where you set security?

It's sweet: cake:

end

** Now you have IP address restrictions on specific directories in laravel. **: relaxed:
