# nginxconfig
|
|
|
|
NGINX (pronounced "engine x" or "en-jin-eks") is the world's most popular Web Server, high performance Load Balancer, Reverse Proxy, API Gateway and Content Cache.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The goal of this README is to provide a basic, structured introduction on how to use this project to setup a secure and working NGINX web server for the novice user.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
NGINX is installed software with binary packages available for all major operating systems and Linux distributions. See [Tested OS and Platforms](https://nginx.org/en/#tested_os_and_platforms) for a full list of compatible systems.
|
|
|
|
The following instructions are specific to the `apt` package manager, widely available on most Ubuntu/Debian distributions and their derivatives.
|
|
|
|
It is always a good idea to update your package repository lists prior to installing new packages.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
```
|
|
Install the NGINX package with the following command.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install nginx
|
|
```
|
|
Using your preferred method, clone this repository into your development or project directory.
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.thelyoncompany.com/edwin/nginxconfig.git
|
|
```
|
|
Create the dhparam.pem certificate to allow for Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) when using TLS.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo openssl dhparam -out /etc/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048
|
|
```
|
|
NGINX commands to know
|
|
```bash
|
|
# To verify config
|
|
sudo nginx -t
|
|
# To verify config with a custom file
|
|
sudo nginx -t -c nginx.conf
|
|
# To reload and apply the new config
|
|
sudo nginx -s reload
|
|
```
|
|
Restart NGINX service in systemd
|
|
```bash
|
|
# To restart any Systemd service, you first need to run the daemon-reload command
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
# To restart NGINX use the following command
|
|
sudo systemctl restart nginx
|
|
# To check the status of the NGINX service
|
|
sudo systemctl status nginx
|
|
```
|
