Installing Nginx
Run:
sudo apt update sudo apt install nginx
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ and /etc/nginx/sites-available/ should now exist.
There is already a default html site config in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
You can create a JS website template like this:
server { server_name example.com; # server_name _; location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:16012; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } # This part will have SSL stuff added by certbot } server { if ($host = example.com) { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } listen 80; server_name example.com; return 404; }
I use these helper functions I added in my .bashrc or .bash_profile:
nginx_on() { if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: nginx_on <site-name>" return 1 fi sudo ln -s "/etc/nginx/sites-available/$1" "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/" sudo service nginx restart echo "Enabled Nginx site: $1" } nginx_off() { if [ -z "$1" ]; then echo "Usage: nginx_off <site-name>" return 1; fi sudo rm "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/$1" sudo service nginx restart echo "Disabled Nginx site: $1" }
E.g. create site config /etc/nginx/sites-available/js, then
$ nginx_on js $ nginx_off js
