An nginx config for your first million users

An nginx config for 2017

nginx has excellent official documentation but putting all the logic together can take a while. Here's an nginx.conf with:

• HTTP/2
• IPv6
• Load balancing between multiple app servers
• A sorry page (shown if all the app servers go down)
• Static content served on a separate server
• HTML5 SSE support
• Correct proxy headers for working GeoIP
• The various www vs non-www, HTTP vs HTTPS combinations redirected to a single HTTPS site

See the full documentation at CertSimple, including diagrams and explanations for why particular values were chosen.
