The reason i love this tutorial is because it is super simple, short and to the point. I already have a fair idea about how the system works and i just wanted a concise guide as to set my custom pages. Keep up the videos.

Awesome presentation. Thank you, this is great. one thing though ... site-enabled directory is not present on my default install in ubuntu 20 (from AWS). Do I have to create it or symlink it? Most nginx presentations mention "site-enabled", they all assume everyone has that same config. If you can create a video how to configure from a scratch install it would help tremendously

just so everyone knows if you simply want to redirect the user to the 404 page whenever a non-existent route is trying to be accessed, you just update the fallback html file in:

location / {
(i.e) index.html
#this is the important line
try_files $uri $uri/ /404.html
}

just make sure your 404 html file is in the same location as the rest of your pages/html files. Nginx does not by default throw a 404 if a route that is not defined is entered in the address bar.

Why not use: 'nginx -s reload' to read the new config in nginx?

Other than that: very nice job!

Hi, nice tutorial. Thumbs up :)

I'm using a nginx docker image for a small setup and this image is missing the sites-enabled folder and the default file.
I've went on to create the default file as shown in your tutorials and other on the internet but in docker I can't really restart the service.

I've tried docker restart CONTAINER_ID - did not work.
I've tried /usr/sbin/nginx -s reload from inside the container - did not work.

I'm using the nginx:1.12.0-alpine docker images.
Cheers!
