[#nginx-dns]
= Nginx

include::partial$reverse-proxies/diagram.adoc[]

This is an example of DNS based proxying with Nginx.

./etc/nginx/cond.d/OliveTin.conf
[source,nginx]

Increase the proxy timeout for the websocket location so the reverse proxy does not close long-lived connections; see xref:troubleshooting/err-websocket-connection.adoc#reverse-proxies-will-close-websockets[Reverse proxies will close websockets] if you see disconnects.


[#nginx-path]
== Custom paths

These "custom path" instructions are for when you want to use OliveTin with a custom path like "apps.example.com/olivetin" instead of the root path + DNS name - eg: "olivetin.example.com". Generally it is **not recommended** to use a custom path for OliveTin. Instructions are provided below though, and it mostly-works.

.nginx.conf
[source,nginx]
----
....
        location /OliveTin/ {
            proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/;
            proxy_redirect http://localhost:1337/ http://localhost/OliveTin/;
        }

        location /OliveTin/websocket {
            proxy_set_header Upgrade "websocket";
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_pass http://localhost:1337/websocket;
            proxy_read_timeout 600s;
            proxy_send_timeout 600s;
        }
