@momurda said in Install Nginx as a Reverse Proxy on Fedora 27:

I am trying to copy this setup but using wildcard cert instead.
So, i have an http server setup with mediawiki. It has no https.
I have this nginx proxy setup so that the http site is redirected correctly.
edit:well it isnt doing http now either Not sure what i did, was working yesterday just fine.
However it wont seem to proxy https.
I think this is probably because my server.domain.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/server.domain.conf proxy_pass parameter is trying to redirect to https of this server which doesnt have https.
What to do in this type of situation?
I asked about this earlier in thread, seems it can work. Ive just messed something up.
I have not messed about with nginx.conf.
Not really sure how it can be used unmodified to proxy https as nothing is defined for https by default.

server.domain.conf file in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ :

server {
        client_max_body_size 40M;
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name server.domain.com;
        ssl          on;
        ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/privkey.pem;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
                proxy_pass https://10.1.0.247:443; # HERE IS ISSUE I THINK
                proxy_redirect off;
        }
}
server {
        client_max_body_size 40M;
        listen 80;
        server_name server.domain.com;

        location / {
                proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
                proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
                proxy_pass http://10.1.0.247:80;
                proxy_redirect off;
        }
}

On your Mediawiki server, take a look at your LocalSettings.php file. What do you have set for $wgServer?

No love for the awesome ed command?

Seriously, what's up with the arguments about which editor is better?

@eddiejennings said in Install Nginx as a Reverse Proxy on Fedora 27:

If you're using one reverse proxy to serve traffic to more than one server, do you typically put all of the configurations in one file, or have a main configuration file, and use include to reference other files? Methinks the way to go is just have one file with server blocks for however many servers you need.

Using separate config is more easier to manage.

Tonight's plan... updating Windows 10.

ROFL. Tonight's plan: Trying to figure out why my Fedora 27 USB won't boot on my laptop.

Any error messages?

Nope... If I set my Laptop to do EFI (default), it doesn't even show the USB drive as an option. If I set it to BIOS, I can pick the USB drive, but it says no boot device available.

I should mention that this USB device was NOT made on this laptop. I haven't installed any specialized drivers for graphics or anything like that. I want it to be pretty much generic.

Are you creating a bootable disk using Rufus, Fedora Media Writer, Etcher, or dd?

Ever consider using Junction points or Symbolic links?

Are you trying to delete the snapshot while the VM is still running?

@eddiejennings said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

An observation: I don't know how folks effectively tested stuff before there were VMs. It's so nice to make a change, and if something breaks, apply a snapshot.

We use to setup a small recovery partition in case we needed to do a restore.

We also used software like deep freeze too.

Having a second computer help with testing as well.
