Generate battle-tested Nginx configurations for Reverse Proxies, Static Single Page Applications (SPA), and Load Balancer Upstreams. Features automatic HTTPS redirection, Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS integration, and security headers.
When enabling SSL, ensure you have valid certificates placed at the specified paths. You can generate them for free using Let's Encrypt and Certbot!
Choose Reverse Proxy, Static Site (SPA), or Load Balancer configuration modes.
Enter target server domain (e.g. `example.com`) and upstream backend application port (e.g. `3000`).
Specify backend server IP addresses and port weights for upstream load balancing.
Toggle HTTPS mode with automatic port 80 to 443 301 redirection and Let's Encrypt certificate paths.
Inspect Nginx directives (`proxy_pass`, `proxy_set_header`, `try_files`, `ssl_certificate`, `ssl_ciphers`).
Copy configuration or download `nginx.conf` directly to `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`.
Forward incoming HTTPS requests on port 443 to internal Node.js or Python backend servers running on port 3000.
Host static frontend builds with `try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;` to support client-side browser routing.
Distribute incoming web traffic across multiple backend servers using Nginx upstream pooling.
Offload TLS encryption at the Nginx web tier using Let's Encrypt SSL certificates and TLS 1.3.
Nginx uses an asynchronous, event-driven worker process architecture. Capable of handling thousands of concurrent HTTP connections per worker process, Nginx acts as an edge web server, reverse proxy, and SSL terminator.
Forwards HTTP requests to internal application runtimes while maintaining client headers.
Essential for React, Vue, and Angular SPAs; redirects non-file requests to index.html for client-side routing.
Permanently redirects insecure HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
