nginx server block generator
Build a starter nginx server { } snippet in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Snippet only. Review paths on the host before you reload.
How to use the nginx server block generator
- Fill server_name, root, and listen (usually 80).
- Optional 443 ssl stub with certificate paths to edit.
- Copy into sites-available and enable the site on the host.
Starter, not production TLS
try_files $uri $uri/ =404 is a static default. The SSL checkbox writes listen 443 ssl and placeholder certificate paths — it does not issue a cert. Review root permissions with the chmod calculator. Pair with the Apache generator if you are moving a vhost.
Nothing is uploaded
The snippet is local. nginx -t still runs on the server.
