+title: "Nginx: Sample Configuration Files"
+date: "2023-03-26"
+---
+Sometimes there is a need to quickly create an nginx configuration file: for hosting a static website,
+to create a simple proxy server, etc.
+
+This article provides simple examples of Nginx configs for different purposes.
+<!--more-->
+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:
+```bash
+nginx -t
+```
+Then run the command to apply the config:
+```bash
+sudo service nginx reload
+```
+## Example 1: hosting a static site.
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+
+  location / {
+    root /var/www/example.com;
+    index index.html;
+  }
+}
+```
+## Example 2: proxy server
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+
+  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;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
+  }
+}
+```
+## Example 3: caching proxy
+In `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` add:
+```bash
+http {
+  proxy_cache_path /data/nginx/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=STATIC:10m
+  inactive=24h max_size=1g;
+}
+```
+In `/etc/nginx/conf.d` put the following config:
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+  location / {
+    proxy_pass http://1.2.3.4;
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    proxy_cache STATIC;
+    proxy_cache_valid 200 1d;
+    proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating
+    http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
+  }
+}
+```

+title: "Nginx: примеры конфигурационных файлов"
+date: "2023-03-26"
+---
+Иногда возникает потребность быстро создать конфигурационный файл nginx: для хостинга статического вебсайта,
+для создания простого проксирующего сервера и т. п.
+
+В данной статье приведены простые примеры конфигов Nginx для разных целей.
+<!--more-->
+Чтобы нижеприведенные конфиги заработали, нужно положить их по пути `/etc/nginx/conf.d/<some_name>.conf`, затем проверить
+валидность конфига:
+```bash
+nginx -t
+```
+Затем выполнить команду для применения конфига:
+```bash
+sudo service nginx reload
+```
+## Пример 1: хостинг статического сайта.
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+
+  location / {
+    root /var/www/example.com;
+    index index.html;
+  }
+}
+```
+## Пример 2: проксирующий сервер
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+
+  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;
+    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
+  }
+}
+```
+## Пример 3: кэширующий прокси
+В `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` добавить:
+```bash
+http {
+  proxy_cache_path  /data/nginx/cache  levels=1:2    keys_zone=STATIC:10m
+  inactive=24h  max_size=1g;
+}
+```
+В `/etc/nginx/conf.d` положить такой конфиг:
+```bash
+server {
+  listen 80;
+  server_name example.com www.example.com;
+
+  access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.log main;
+  location / {
+    proxy_pass http://1.2.3.4;
+    proxy_set_header Host $host;
+    proxy_cache STATIC;
+    proxy_cache_valid 200 1d;
+    proxy_cache_use_stale error timeout invalid_header updating
+    http_500 http_502 http_503 http_504;
+  }
+}
+```
