configure-nginx

Set up Nginx as a web server and reverse proxy with SSL termination and security hardening.

Expected: Requests to port 80 are forwarded to the app service.

On failure: Check DNS points to the server. Verify port 80 is open for ACME challenges.

Configure Nginx as a web server and reverse proxy. Covers static file serving, reverse proxy to upstream services, SSL/TLS termination with Let's Encrypt, location blocks, load balancing, rate limiting, and security headers. Use when serving static files in production, reverse proxying to backend services (Node.js, Python, R/Shiny), terminating SSL/TLS, load balancing across instances, or adding rate limiting and security headers to harden an endpoint.
