'''Nginx for Reverse Proxy'''
proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; </br>
 
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
Make sure you have installed Nginx.
 
$ apt install nginx
 
Note: packages are saved by default in your user's home directory.
 
If you went to the IP address of your pi in web browser on a device that was on the same wifi network as the pi you would be able to see the default Nginx site already! Where is that coming from?
 
Well, Nginx will create some default html files on installation, to find that HTML index page in your file system on the pi, change directory :
 
$ cd /var/www/html
 
The default html document will be named index.nginx-debian.html which you can see if you run the ls command now.
 
The default configuration file for this simple static site can be found here:
 
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
 
 
'''Reverse Proxy Configuration'''
 
 
Add an nginx config file at /etc/nginx/sites-available/<SERVERNAME>.conf
 
To do this use the command
 
cd /ect/nginx/
nano sites-available/<NETNAME>.conf
Ours looks like:
 
cd /ect/nginx/
nano sites-available/systerserver.conf
Choosing your NGINX reverse proxy setup is very much up to you but we will show to setups, a simple one with just http, and a more secure and standard one with https redirect and certificate.
 
simple http conf:
 
server {
# listen to http on port 80
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
# listen to url
server_name servpub.net;
 
# linking the client to the vpn subnet ip address of the pi
location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
 
# replace this with the user vpn subnet ip adress you set earlier
proxy_pass http://10.10.12.51;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
}
location / {
rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri? permanent;
}
}
