nginx-conf
General purpose Nginx Configuration Template
Nginx Template
Here lies my personal Nginx template for a mixed setup. I'm trying to make this nginx configured for general use; whether it's wordpress or static html or whatever. My aim is to enable caching, SEO friendly URL's, Cloudflare support, adding h5bp, ngx_pagespeed optimizations etc. Thus trying to create a copy/paste style nginx template.
It also uses https://github.com/h5bp/server-configs-nginx and a compilation of many tweaks.
Requirements
Nginx 1.6 and above. nginx-extras or your own compilation with the following:
- ngx_pagespeed (comes with nginx extras)
- ngx_http_gunzip
What to do?
-
Edit pagespeed settings: Edit pagespeed to add/remove filters.
-
Add your domains to pagespeed.conf
-
Create cache and log folders
-
Change ownership of the folders. You can run the below bash script to create and chmod all these folders.
for dir in /var/cache/nginx/ /var/cache/nginx/client /var/cache/nginx/scgi /var/cache/nginx/uwsgi /var/cache/nginx/fastcgi /var/cache/nginx/proxy /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache /var/log/nginx /var/log/pagespeed /var/ngx_pagespeed_cache /var/log/pagespeed
do
if [ ! -d $dir ]; then
mkdir -p $dir
chown -R www-data:www-data $dir
else
chown -R www-data:www-data $dir
fi
done
