Nginx Just a web server?

✓ Web Server ✓ Proxy ✓ Cache ✓ Mail Proxy ✓ And more! No! It’s so much more!

The journey to 11

Slide 6

Slide 6 text

Important for tweaking

Slide 7

Slide 7 text

Always run configtest before doing anything!

Slide 8

Reload (HUP Signal)

Slide 9

Slide 9 text

Reload (HUP Signal) ‣ Reloads config ‣ Starts up new workers ‣ Old workers stop listening ‣ Finish up any work they have

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

Upgrade (USR2 Signal)

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

Upgrade (USR2 Signal) ‣ Live upgrade of Nginx executable ‣ Starts up a new Master ‣ Run in parallel ‣ Old Workers gracefully shutdown ‣ Old Master can be brought back

Location Blocks

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Foundation of most things we will do

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

Most Common Block location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args; }

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

location /helgi/is/awesome { return 202; }

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

Accepts Regex Done by adding ~ in front of the regular expression

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

Accepts Regex # deny access to all .dot-files location ~ /\. { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; } # deny access to all backups location ~ ~$ { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }

Error Pages

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

Basic Custom 404 error_page 404 /errors/404.html; Requires /errors/404.html to be in the document root

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Basic Custom 404 root /var/www/public; error_page 404 /errors/404.html; location /errors/404.html { internal; root /var/www; }

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Errors via PHP error_page 404 @four_oh_four; location @four_oh_four { if (!-f "/var/www/errors/404.php") { return 404; } include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/errors/404.php; fastcgi_pass web_workers; }

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

50x and others error_page 500 501 502 503 504 @five_oh_ex; location @five_oh_ex { } Most HTTP codes can be bunched together

Health Checks

Slide 27

Slide 27 text

Nginx Check location = /health/ping { return 200; }

Slide 28

Slide 28 text

Nginx + FPM [healthcheck] listen = /var/run/php/healthcheck.sock user = www-data pm = static pm.max_children = 1 pm.max_requests = 10000 ping.path = /health/ping ping.response = "pong" PHP FPM Config

Slide 29

Slide 29 text

Nginx + FPM location = /health/ping { fastcgi_pass healthcheck; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } upstream healthcheck { server unix:/var/run/php/healthcheck.sock; } Nginx Config

Rewrite Module

Slide 31

Slide 31 text

Regex (PCRE)

Slide 32

Slide 32 text

Responsible for all if statements, file exists checks, returns and more. Can work with most Nginx variables such as http_cookie, user agent, uri and countless others.

Slide 33

Slide 33 text

last break redirect permanent Finish rewrite and evaluates all rewrites again Finish rewrite does no further rewrite processing Returns a 302 on the rewrite Returns a 301 on the rewrite
