This is my boilerplate for a Nginx config with SSL. I like the idea of modular includes, so I created a /etc/nginx/includes directory for files that get included into the main config file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. I moved mime.types and fastcgi.conf to that includes folder. I use a common-location-rules.conf file for location rules that are shared between all sites hosted on the server. Relative paths in include directives are relative to the config prefix path (path to the nginx.conf file, by default /etc/nginx/).
The following files are from h5bp/server-configs-nginx:
includes/mime.types: here the correct MIME type for javascript (application/javascriptinstead oftext/javascript) is set among others. Using this file is important because thegzip_typesrule is set accordingly ingzip.conf.- **[
includes/expires.conf](htt
