Nginx Setup

Install Nginx

To install Nginx, use following command:

Debian

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

After installing it, you already have everything you need.

You can point your browser to your server IP address. You should see a default nginx page.

The root folder for the webpage is located at /var/www/

Setting up reverse Proxy

Create a new file under /etc/nginx/sites-available/ and create a symbolic link in sites-enabled to enable it.

server {
        listen <port>;
        server_name <server-name>;
        location / {
                proxy_pass <dest-addr>:<port>;
        }
}
