# nginx
Used for reverse proxy. 

**Functions:** 
* route wiki.home -> 192.168.1.101:3000

## Setup 

The config files for each service is located at 

```
/etc/nginx/sites-available/
```

Example config file **wiki**:
```
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name wiki.home;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.101:3000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}
```

Add symlink to the config file so nginx loads it. This was it is easy to control which sites should be enabled or not by removing/adding the symlink. 
```
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/wiki /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```

Start it with 

```
sudo nginx -t
```
