In this tutorial, you will deploy an example Go web application with gorilla/mux as the request router and Nginx as the web server, all inside Docker containers that are orchestrated by Docker Compose. You’ll use nginx-proxy with the Let’s Encrypt add-on as the reverse proxy. At the end of this tutorial, you will have deployed a Go web app accessible at your domain with multiple routes, using Docker and secured with Let’s Encrypt certificates.

The LEMP software stack is a group of software that can be used to serve dynamic web pages and web applications written in PHP. This is an acronym that describes a Linux operating system, with an Nginx (pronounced like “Engine-X”) web server. The backend data is stored in the MySQL database and the dynamic processing is handled by PHP. This guide demonstrates how to install a LEMP stack on an Ubuntu 20.04 server. The Ubuntu operating system takes care of the first requirement. We will describe how to get the rest of the components up and running.

Understanding Nginx Server and Location Block Selection Algorithms

FavTuts Editorialby FavTuts Editorial0

Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. It can successfully handle high loads with many concurrent client connections, and can function as a web server, a mail server, or a reverse proxy server. In this guide, we will discuss some of the behind-the-scenes details that determine how Nginx processes client requests. Understanding these ideas can help take the guesswork out of designing server and location blocks and can make the request handling seem less unpredictable.

How To Secure Nginx with Let’s Encrypt on Ubuntu 20.04

FavTuts Editorialby FavTuts Editorial0

Let’s Encrypt is a Certificate Authority (CA) that provides an easy way to obtain and install free TLS/SSL certificates, thereby enabling encrypted HTTPS on web servers. It simplifies the process by providing a software client, Certbot, that attempts to automate most (if not all) of the required steps. Currently, the entire process of obtaining and installing a certificate is fully automated on both Apache and Nginx. In this tutorial, you will use Certbot to obtain a free SSL certificate for Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04 and set up your certificate to renew automatically. This tutorial will use a separate Nginx server configuration file instead of the default file. We recommend creating new Nginx server block files for each domain because it helps to avoid common mistakes and maintains the default files as a fallback configuration.
