Here are some common Nginx technical guides for Linux systems.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install Nginx: Use a package manager (such as apt or yum) to install Nginx. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use the following command to install: sudo apt-get install nginx.<\/li>\n
  2. To start and stop Nginx: Use the command “sudo service nginx start” to start Nginx and “sudo service nginx stop” to stop it.<\/li>\n
  3. Configuration file: The main configuration file for Nginx is located at \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf. This file can be used to configure global settings for Nginx, such as the number of worker processes and the location of log files.<\/li>\n
  4. Virtual host configuration: Nginx allows for configuring multiple virtual hosts, each with their own settings. The configuration files for virtual hosts are typically found in the \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/ directory.<\/li>\n
  5. Reverse Proxy: Nginx can act as a reverse proxy server, forwarding requests to the real servers in the backend. Use the proxy_pass directive in virtual host configuration to set up the reverse proxy.<\/li>\n
  6. Load balancing: Nginx can be configured to distribute requests to multiple backend servers. You can use the upstream directive to define backend servers and the proxy_pass directive to configure load balancing.<\/li>\n
  7. SSL\/TLS support: Nginx can be configured to use SSL\/TLS encryption to guarantee secure data transmission. You can use the directives ssl_certificate and ssl_certificate_key to configure SSL\/TLS certificates.<\/li>\n
  8. Caching: Nginx can be configured to improve performance by setting up cache. The proxy_cache_path directive can be used to configure the location and size of the cache.<\/li>\n
  9. Nginx will generate access logs and error logs. The location and format of the log files can be configured in the configuration file.<\/li>\n
  10. Safety: Nginx can be configured with various security features such as access restrictions and prevention of DDoS attacks. Access can be limited using the allow and deny directives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
