The NGINX Handbook

Thanks to tools like NGINXConfig by DigitalOcean and an abundance of pre-written configuration files on the internet, people tend to do a lot of copy-pasting instead of trying to understand when it comes to configuring NGINX.

I'm not saying that copying code is bad, but copying code without understanding is a big "no-no".

Also, NGINX is the kind of software that should be configured exactly according to the requirements of the application to be served and available resources on the host.

That's why instead of copying blindly, you should understand and then fine-tune what you're copying – and that's where this handbook comes in.
