      Seriously? I got more confused now and will need to basically look for a better explanation, I appreciate the work of the engineer here, however, there is a saying, when you understand something really well you can explain it to a 5-year-old and it will be understood.

    is there a simple line we can add to the config where we set up the custom_log to include datetime? I am struggling to find something suitable on google

    • @rehmanarshad1848

      If you're on Linux you can use logrotate It's a built in utility for managing log files.
      Create a custom logroate job for nginx
      $ vi /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
      /var/log/nginx/*.log {
      create 600 nginx nginx
      daily
      delay-compress
      date %mm-dd-yyy
      rotate 4
      post_rotate >2 /dev/null
      }
      The file would look something like that. You can look the documentation or Linux manual pages for logrotate.
      Good luck on your endeavors!

    Can the reverse proxy and load balancer be on the same instance of Nginx, or should they be on separate instances?

    • @jay15183
      @jay15183 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely. That's the idea. However, for enterprise architectures, I'd defer to the security teams for guidance.

    Hi! Correct me if im wrong, I am using Pihole, a DNS Resolver Server + Sinkhole + Firewall.
    To map a custom URL (I.e. domain:port/subdomain) to a custom Domain Name, I'll need to use reverse proxy, am i right?

    • @toasterbath1395
      @toasterbath1395 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes this is the whole point of a reverse proxy to map a subdomain to the same public ip but different port/ internal ip

    • @nginx_official
      @nginx_official  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      default.conf is located in /conf.d/default.conf when you install NGINX OSS or Plus.
      Here’s a link to installing NGINX OSS - docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-open-source/

    any way to do Reverse Proxy for tcp stream?

    • @nginx_official
      @nginx_official  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely - You can proxy TCP connections using proxy_pass directive. It is performed via the Stream Module. Links below give you more details.

    Is Nginx free version support tcp and udp reverse proxy?

    • @nginx_official
      @nginx_official  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes - NGINX OSS (free version) supports both TCP and UDP proxying/load-balancing. Both TCP/UDP proxying/load-balancing is performed by the Stream Module. More details on the links below:
