Nginx Configuration

Nginx

Nginx is the default webserver & reverse proxy for applications managed by Cloud 66.

The following settings are available via the Manifest file:

Option	Description	Clouds
`cors`	Enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing	All
`nginx/precompiled_url`	A URL pointing to a file in `tar.gz` format that contains a custom version of Nginx that will be used with your application. This Nginx package MUST be compiled using our Cloud 66 compiler. Please read the docs on the Github page for more details.	All
`extra_build_arguments` (deprecated)	Extra build argument string that will be added to the `nginx build` command. If you require additional modules that themselves require specific source to be present, you should use a `BEFORE_NGINX` deploy hook to ensure that source is present. You can use the `cloud66/download` snippet to achieve this easily. The following build arguments are currently always added: `--with-http_realip_module --with-ipv6 --with-http_v2_module` regardless of this value.	All
`perfect_forward_secrecy` (deprecated)	Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy	All

Customizing Nginx for containerized apps

Nginx uses the docker node in manifest.yml. See below for examples.

Example YAML for Nginx

docker:
  configuration:
    nginx:
      perfect_forward_secrecy: true # deprecated

CORS configuration

If required, you can also specify the allowed origin (as '*' or a single origin) and methods. You can also specify a comma-separated list of origins, headers, and whether to allow credentials for CORS.

docker:
  configuration:
    nginx:
      cors:
        origin: '*'
        methods: 'GET, OPTIONS'
        headers: 'Custom-Header, Another-Header'
        credentials: true
