Nginx

• Web Server

Useful for services that run on abnormal ports, but you want to have clean urls to access them

reverse_proxy.conf

server {
    server_name example.domain.com;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
    }
}

Used, for example, on kalen.pw so any non-found files are redirected to the homepage (as opposed to serving a 404)

location / {
    if (!-e $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^ / permanent;
    }
}
