How to configure Ngnix on VPS for the 1st time

To configure Nginx on a VPS for the first time, follow these straightforward steps to ensure a smooth setup. Nginx is a versatile web server known for its ability to handle static files, dynamic content, and proxy requests efficiently. Start by securing your VPS with SSH keys and disabling root login for enhanced security. Once logged in, update your system using sudo apt update and proceed to install Nginx using the package manager. After installation, start and enable Nginx to run at boot by executing sudo systemctl start nginx and sudo systemctl enable nginx. Verify the installation by accessing your server's IP address in a web browser, which should display the default Nginx welcome page. To configure your site, navigate to the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory, open the default configuration file using a text editor, and customize the settings, including the root directory for your website files. After saving the changes, test the Nginx configuration for errors and reload the service to apply the updates. With these steps, your Nginx server should be ready to serve your website efficiently, laying the foundation for further customization and optimization.

I don't understand why people don't comment on such amazing videos. This is a gem for developers looking to deploy their own apps. I'm really grateful for the high-quality content you're providing. Deep respect!

[@shwetanshusinha2690]

Sir I watch every video you upload on youtube. I have learnt a lot from you. I had a knack for coding from high school. Currently, I have completed my 1st year btech. Even being a first year student, I had got an internship in a startup as a React developer. I have also created 3 web projects and the 4th one is in progress. Thank you so so much sir.

Thank you for making this amazing series on VPS Deploy. I found instruction on how to install and configure firewall on VPS but I don't see any info on how to setup fail2ban or any other tool to secure the VPS. Please guide. Thanks. PS. To install and run Nodejs, Python, Php on this VPS, do we have to manually configure nginx to run each of these things?

can we get something on warp security and privacy. it seems like they are uploading our commands to their server for learning/something. those commands will surely contain passwords and stuff. I am a bit concerned about it. Loving your deploy series

Correct me if I am mistaken but wouldn’t traefik does the same job as nginx or even better? It’s pretty handy with docker compose, or even handling ssl certificates?

watching it from my sofa and really enjoying it but my comment about security is getting deleted every time. Does anyone knownwhy it might be ?

Hi sir, why you haven't started with AWS. It would be better.

[@shoaburrahmanchishty198]

Sir will you teach us the integration of cloudflare type services in this playlist? Just asking from the curiosity. I know teaching everything is not possible in one playlist. Moreover, it is not justified from your end also as we are getting this for free. I appreciate your effort. May Allah help you.

I think the spelling is incorrect in the title - Nginx
