(see TODOs below for future contribution ideas, or feel free to contribute!)

Notes / Disclaimers:

• Don't use any example auth / certificates here in the real world for anything!

  • They're public on Github, they are just for demo / proof of concept

• Examples are not meant to be all-encompassing

  • These are only one possible implementation of a specific scenario

• Review NGINX documentation carefully and understand everything before ever depending on any configuration to protect a real-world resource

  • Do not deploy anything here verbatim, instead use as a starter, reference, or working example

TODO

Some future examples to add and other project ideas.

Meta-nginx config:

• Implement single nginx config at the root level that includes as many of the example projects as possible
• Include a route map with links to the sub-projects for each route

Future Examples:

• Architecture supporting multiple routes in a maintainable / sane way
• Headers
• Caching
• Clustered service node distribution config
