An example of setting up PlexPy with a reverse proxy in Nginx

config-sample.ini

; This is the PlexPy config.ini file.
; Just the two lines needed for the reverse proxy, the rest of the file doesn't
; need to be touched

http_root = /plexpy
http_proxy = 1

nginx-sample.conf

http {

  # ...

  server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    root /usr/local/var/www;
    index index.html index.htm;

    # ... (cut out other location blocks)

    location /plexpy/ {
      proxy_bind $server_addr;
      proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8181;
      proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
      proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
  }

  include servers/*;
}

I was following another guide that omitted the step to change config.ini setting to "http_proxy = 1".
Seems to work fine without changing from http_proxy=0. Can you explain what this setting does?

Also, I my "location /plexpy { ... " is same as above nginx-sample.conf.
I am able to access plexpy via "http://mydomain.com/plexpy" . What should I change for "http://plexpy.mydomain.com" to work?
