Nginx Server Configs homepage | Documentation table of contents
- nginx version 1.6.0+
There are two ways to make use of the contents of this repository, as a reference
or directly as the source for nginx to run from. A number of config snippets are
provided allowing you to pick and choose which features to allow/expose - some
snippets are dependent on other features in this repository. For example rules that
rely on a specific mime type for a given file extension, expect/rely the use of the
bundled mime.types file.
To use as reference requires no special installation steps, download/checkout the repository to a convenient location and adapt your existing nginx configuration incorporating the desired functionality from this repository.
To use directly, replace the nginx config directory with this repository. for example:
/etc/init.d/nginx stop
cd /etc
mv nginx nginx-previous
git clone [email protected]:h5bp/server-configs-nginx.git nginx
# install-specific edits
/etc/init.d/nginx start
Install specific edits will vary from server to user, see Getting started for a description of the required steps.
