# Nginx

## Introduction

* Nginx can act as a web server and  reverse proxy

## Example

{% code title="nginx.conf" %}

```nginx
events {}

http {

    # http
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name ${DOMAIN_NAME};
        # redirect to https
        location / {
            return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
        }
        # host the static content
        location /images/ {
            root /data;
        }
    }
    
   # https
    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name ${DOMAIN_NAME};
        ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/certificate.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/private.key;
         # Forward to the application
        location / {
            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
            proxy_pass         "http://n8n:5678";
        }
    }
    
    # Load balancing example
    upstream load_balance_server {
        #weigth参数表示权值，权值越高被分配到的几率越大
        server 192.168.1.11:80   weight=5;
        server 192.168.1.12:80   weight=1;
        server 192.168.1.13:80   weight=6;
    }

            proxy_pass  http://load_balance_server ;#请求转向load_balance_server 定义的服务器列表

            #以下是一些反向代理的配置(可选择性配置)
            #proxy_redirect off;

            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

            proxy_send_timeout 90;             #后端服务器数据回传时间(代理发送超时)
            proxy_read_timeout 90;             #连接成功后，后端服务器响应时间(代理接收超时)
            proxy_buffer_size 4k;              #设置代理服务器（nginx）保存用户头信息的缓冲区大小
            proxy_buffers 4 32k;               #proxy_buffers缓冲区，网页平均在32k以下的话，这样设置
            proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;       #高负荷下缓冲大小（proxy_buffers*2）
            proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;    #设定缓存文件夹大小，大于这个值，将从upstream服务器传

            client_max_body_size 10m;          #允许客户端请求的最大单文件字节数
            client_body_buffer_size 128k;      #缓冲区代理缓冲用户端请求的最大字节数
        }
    }
    
    
    # default setting for http and https
    server {
        listen 80 default_server ;
        server_name _;
        return 403 "forbidden"; # 403 forbidden
