This script automates the process of setting up an Nginx reverse proxy. It creates a new Nginx configuration file, sets up a symlink to the sites-enabled directory, and restarts the Nginx service.
- Nginx installed on your system. If you haven't installed it yet, you can do so by running:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx-
Save the
setup_reverse_proxy.shscript to your desired directory. -
Navigate to the directory containing the script and give it execute permissions:
chmod +x setup_reverse_proxy.sh- Run the script as root, providing the server name and port number as command-line arguments:
sudo ./setup_reverse_proxy.sh -s example.com -p 8000Replace example.com with your server name (domain or IP address) and 8000 with your desired port number.
-
The script will create a new Nginx configuration file in the
/etc/nginx/sites-availabledirectory, set up a symlink to thesites-enableddirectory, and restart the Nginx service. -
Your reverse proxy should now be up and running, forwarding requests to the specified server name and port number.
If you need help with the script usage or want to see the available command-line options, run the script without any arguments or with the -h flag:
./setup_reverse_proxy.sh
./setup_reverse_proxy.sh -h
