nginx configuration

nginx is a web server software that the bootleg library runs on. This configuration allows maximum uploads of 100mb:

server {
 listen 80 default_server;
 listen [::]:80 default_server;
 server_name _;  
 location /bootleglibrary {

   auth_basic           "ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ";
   auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/htpasswd;

   client_max_body_size 100M;

   proxy_bind         $server_addr;
   proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:20190;
   proxy_set_header   Host                $http_host;
   proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For     $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
   proxy_set_header   X-Scheme            $scheme;
   proxy_set_header   X-Script-Name       /bootleglibrary;

   }
}

nginx service file

To enable, start, stop, or check the status of the nginx web server, a service file is needed. To create one in a systemd Linux distribution, make this file:

/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service

with the following contents:

# Stop dance for nginx
# =======================
#
# ExecStop sends SIGSTOP (graceful stop) to the nginx process.
# If, after 5s (--retry QUIT/5) nginx is still running, systemd takes control
# and sends SIGTERM (fast shutdown) to the main process.
# After another 5s (TimeoutStopSec=5), and if nginx is alive, systemd sends
# SIGKILL to all the remaining processes in the process group (KillMode=mixed).
#
# nginx signals reference doc:
# http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html

On Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL/CentOS Linux

Use the following command: # /etc/init.d/nginx restart

OR

# /etc/init.d/nginx reload

OR

# service nginx restart

OR

# service nginx reload

OR if you are using systemd based Linux distro:

$ sudo systemctl restart nginx

OR

$ sudo systemctl reload nginx

To view status:

# service nginx status

OR

$ sudo systemctl status nginx

However, the recommend way is as follows. This should work with any Linux distributions or Unix-like operating systems:

# nginx -s reload

OR

# /path/to/full/nginx -s reload

If nginx is compiled and installed from the source code

If nginx binary is installed at /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx, enter:

# /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload
