Lord1Egypt Nginx Routing
Overview
Nginx is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.
When to Use This Skill
Use to expose Flask or Node.js web services securely on a public server behind a proxy.
Quick Start (with runnable code examples)
# Simple Nginx configuration block (/etc/nginx/sites-available/default)
server {
listen 80;
server_name my-app.domain;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000; # Route to local Flask process
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
}
Advanced Usage
Set up SSL encryption via Certbot, configure gzip response compression, and customize upstream load balancing.
