2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
This article provides simple examples of Nginx configs for different purposes.

For the following configs to work, you need to put them in the path `/etc/nginx/conf.d/<some_name>.conf`, then check
config validity:
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
```bash
nginx -t
```
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
Then run the command to apply the config:
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
```bash
sudo service nginx reload
```

## Example 1: hosting a static site.
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
2023-04-23 14:56:27 +00:00
```nginx
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
2023-05-12 12:00:52 +00:00
access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log;
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
location / {
root /var/www/example.com;
index index.html;
}
}
```

2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00

```nginx
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
server {

server_name example.com www.example.com;
2023-05-19 09:47:46 +00:00
access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log;
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;

http {
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=STATIC:10m;
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
inactive=24h max_size=1g;
}
```
2023-04-23 15:33:17 +00:00
2023-03-26 14:41:19 +00:00
