Putting cryptographic primitives together is a lot like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, where all the pieces are cut exactly the same way, but there is only one correct solution. Thankfully, there are some projects out there that are working hard to make sure developers are getting it right.
The following advice comes from years of research from leading security researchers, developers, and cryptographers. This Gist was [forked from Thomas Ptacek's Gist][1] to be more readable. Additions have been added from
When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP
address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world)
using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one
may wants to host three different web apps respectively for
example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on
the same machine using a single IP address.
How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers
| First, install nginx for mac with "brew install nginx". | |
| Then follow homebrew's instructions to know where the config file is. | |
| 1. To use https you will need a self-signed certificate: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-certificate-self | |
| 2. Copy it somewhere (use full path in the example below for server.* files) | |
| 3. sudo nginx -s reload | |
| 4. Access https://localhost/ | |
| Edit /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf: |
| # Redis Cheatsheet | |
| # All the commands you need to know | |
| redis-server /path/redis.conf # start redis with the related configuration file | |
| redis-cli # opens a redis prompt | |
| # Strings. |
A reverse proxy is a server that sits between internal applications and external clients, forwarding client requests to the appropriate server. While many common applications, such as Node.js, are able to function as servers on their own, NGINX has a number of advanced load balancing, security, and acceleration features that most specialized applications lack. Using NGINX as a reverse proxy enables you to add these features to any application. This guide uses a simple Node.js app to demonstrate how to configure NGINX as a reverse proxy.
These steps install NGINX Mainline on Ubuntu 16.04 from NGINX official repository
