These videos, although basic, are quite easy to follow and contain just enough detail to give someone unfamiliar with the topic enough to get started. Most of my experience is with Apache and I've installed nginx as part of a tutorial for another project. It's much easier to deal with than apache, so I looked up one of the Apache vs. Nginx pages and it filled out "Why would I run one over the other?". And it supplemented this video nicely. Very clear and CONCISE instructions.

Just enforced ssl on my linode running nginx. With every video, I learn something new, add to my tool belt. Thank you.

I love how you guys are creating these helpful videos. The reason why I will be using Linode over Digital Ocean despite similar product offerings!

That was pretty clear and concise, I have learned nginx configuration bash shell scripts here.

I had an issue with certbot that would prevent from getting the certificate deployed correctly. the error would point to a server block issue. I tried several things going to sites-enabled and site-avaliable. but it wasn't untill i changed the default file in conf.d that i got it working. shows how important are this common configurations, thanks man.

I tried with the second location example /blog/, but it allways starts the / site. What happened here ?

[dixztube]

sudo nginx -t allows you to test your configuration to see any breaking issues.

[AhmadKoudier]

the backslash after blog location is considered as security vulnerability :)

[KavanMavati]

FYI you should set the worker processes to auto (worker_processes auto;)

[serpantinthewild]

life safer, thanks for the tutorial :)

Thank for this but i am still confuse about how to setup my vps since people say i should set it to apache and run nginx as a proxy server but other mention it is better to uninstall apache and just use nginx but they also said that setting up nginx for dynamic content is not very beginner friendly so i am at lost on how to proceed after 2 weeks of reading on the subject!
