How to Set up a Reverse Proxy With NGINX

In this video I will show you how to set up a reverse proxy with NGINX. This video follows a very step-by-step approach where I explain why and how we are doing each step.

We start by looking at and architecture diagram and talk about what a reverse proxy is and why you might need one. We set up and connect to a Linode instance for the demo portion. We run some example apps in Docker to demonstrate the reverse proxy and why it is needed. We configure DNS A records to point domain names at our server's public IP address. We install NGINX and learn about it's default configuration. Then we configure NGINX as a reverse proxy. Finally we use Certbot to enable HTTPS on our reverse-proxy.
