Overview

This skill generates production-ready NGINX configuration files for web servers, reverse proxies, load balancers, SSL termination, static sites, SPAs, and PHP-FPM apps. It outputs valid nginx.conf / site.conf fragments with security headers, logging, gzip, caching and sensible defaults. Use it to quickly produce complete, testable configuration files ready to drop into /etc/nginx/ or /etc/nginx/conf.d/.

How this skill works

When invoked it returns a complete NGINX configuration tailored to the requested scenario (static site, reverse proxy, load balancer, SPA, PHP-FPM, etc.). Each output includes listen directives, SSL settings when requested, upstream definitions for backends, security headers, rate limits, logging paths, gzip and caching rules. The result is syntactically valid NGINX config intended to pass nginx -t after adjusting paths and certificate files.

When to use it

Create a secure static site configuration with HTTPS and caching
Generate a reverse proxy for Node.js or other backend services
Build a load balancer config for multiple backend servers
Provision SPA hosting with API and websocket proxying
Configure PHP-FPM sites (WordPress/Laravel) with fastcgi settings and security

Best practices

Always verify and replace certificate and path placeholders before deployment
Run nginx -t after installing the config and reload nginx gracefully (nginx -s reload)
Use upstream keepalive and health-aware settings for high traffic backends
Apply rate limiting zones for login and API endpoints to mitigate abuse
Separate site configs into /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and keep global security rules in a shared file

Example use cases

Create nginx.conf for a React SPA with an API proxied to localhost:3000 and long cache for static assets
Generate a reverse proxy config for a Node/Express app with websocket support and client_max_body_size for uploads
Produce a load balancer config using least_conn with weighted backend servers and a backup node
Build a WordPress NGINX config with PHP-FPM fastcgi settings and rules to deny sensitive files
Output a security.conf with rate limits, connection caps, and simple attack-mitigation regex blocks

FAQ

Yes—templates include SSL directives and example LetsEncrypt paths, but you must replace placeholders with your actual certificate and key locations.

Are the outputs immediately safe to use in production?

Outputs follow best practices (security headers, logging, gzip, timeouts) but require validation: confirm paths, upstream servers, and run nginx -t before reloading.
