Nginx Deployment & Using Vagrant
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

:: Nginx ::

NGINX is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy server. NGINX is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.


Installation:

yum install nginx
systemctl start nginx



Case 1:
Nginx as a Web Server:

Config file is in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

###
server {
        listen       80 default_server;       ### Port
        listen       [::]:80 default_server;
        server_name  _;
        root         /usr/share/nginx/html;   ### Document Root

        # Load configuration files for the default server block.
        include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;  ### Additional configs

        location / {
        }

        error_page 404 /404.html;
            location = /40x.html {
        }

        error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
            location = /50x.html {
        }
    }
###


Case 2:
Nginx as Reverse Proxy:

Create a file say, /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy_jenkins.conf with following content:

###
server {
    listen 81;
    server_name foobar.net;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        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;
    }
}

:: Vagrant ::

- Automates VBOX Creation

Steps: (For Vagrant on Windows System)

1. Download and install the most recent VirtualBox for Windows from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Start up VirtualBox

2. Download and install the latest version of Vagrant from http://downloads.vagrantup.com.

Open Windows cmd prompt
For Windows 10, press Windows key and then press “R” key. This will open the RUN dialog box for you. Type “cmd” and press Enter.
Note: I typed vagrant command and I got the error message saying, ‘vagrant’ command not recognized. It was not added to the Path during install. Restarting your computer may help to refresh the path.

3. Change directory to C:\vagrant\vagrant\bin

4. Then type the following commands:

C:\vagrant\vagrant\bin> vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box
C:\vagrant\vagrant\bin> vagrant init lucid32
C:\vagrant\vagrant\bin> vagrant up

5. Open Putty and enter these credentials:
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2222
Connection type: SSH

6. Login to Vagrant server
Enter username: vagrant
Password: vagrant

Type ls –lah at the prompt.
This is a bare bones server with Ubuntu installed.

vagrant@lucid32:~$ls -lah
