This nginx rule redirects all the traffic that arrive on port 80 of the web server to the internal port 8000 (for example where a Django application is running).

        listen   80;
        server_name  mywebsite.com;
        access_log  /var/log/www/mywebsite.com/log/nginx.access.log;
        error_log  /var/log/www/mywebsite.com/log/nginx_error.log debug;
