I have a configuration for a Docker NGINX container that works OK with my 
'static' configuration, but I’d like to maybe use a variable in the proxy 
rewrite to avoid have to duplicate a location block for the server. A sample 
Static setup with some of the extra stuff removed is shown below.  That 
actually 'works' when I explicitly specify /pacs-1/ and /pacs-2/.  pacs-1 and 
pacs-2 happen to also be the name for other servers in my Docker Setup, so 
http://pacs-1:8042 <http://pacs-1:8042/> resolves to the docker container since 
it is called from Docker.  Those servers are not accessible outside of the 
container, which is one reason why I proxy some requests made to it from 
outside of the container.  I’m curious if it is possible to rewrite that such 
that I can match one of several container name from the request URI, e.g. 
something like location ~ ^/(pacs-butterfly|pacs-1|pacs-2)(/.*)   I tried 
various options, including setting a variable and nothing seems to work yet.

I could just create a separate block for each server, but it would be nice to 
generalize it so it would always work as long as the request uri corresponds to 
an existing container.  Thanks.
.

    location  /pacs-1/  {

        if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
                return 204;
        }

        auth_request /auth;
        auth_request_set $auth_status $upstream_status;
        proxy_buffering off;
        rewrite /pacs-1/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://pacs-1:8042 <http://pacs-1:8042/>;
        proxy_redirect  http://pacs-1:8042/ <http://pacs-1:8042/> /;
        proxy_set_header HOST $host;

    }

    location  /pacs-2/  {

        if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
                return 204;
        }

        auth_request /auth;
        auth_request_set $auth_status $upstream_status;
        proxy_buffering off;
        rewrite /pacs-2/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_pass http://pacs-2:8042 <http://pacs-2:8042/>;
        proxy_redirect  http://pacs-2:8042/ <http://pacs-2:8042/> /;
        proxy_set_header HOST $host;

    }
