Nginx

Nginx

Nginx is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, you could use it to serve static files, configure SSL or create load balance service.

Both Daemon mode and Docker mode we mentioned before is listening on a certain local port. You could use Nginx to proxy some requests to them, and handle static files by itself.

Here is an example config file:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  your-domain;

    access_log   /var/log/api-access.log;
    error_log    /var/log/api-error.log;

    location ^~ /public {
        access_log off;
        expires    1d;
        root       /var/www/public;
        try_files  $uri @backend;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri @backend;
    }

    location @backend {
        proxy_pass                 http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_redirect             off;
        proxy_set_header           Host             $host;
        proxy_set_header           X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header           X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Change the proxy_pass to your application listening port if needed.
