Connect nginx unix socket

This shows how to connect your application listening on a Unix socket (started with mrim) to Nginx web server.

- Step 1:
You will need to edit the Nginx configuration file. For Ubuntu and similar:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Copied!

while on Fedora and other systems it might be at:

sudo vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Copied!

Add the following in the "server {}" section ("/<app path>" is the application path (see request), "<app name>" is your application name, and <user home dir> is your user home directory):

location /<app path>/ { include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass  unix://<user home dir>/.rimstone/apps/<app name>/sock/.sock; }

Copied!

- Step 2:
Finally, restart Nginx:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Copied!

Note: you must not have any other URL resource that starts with "/<app path>/" (such as for example "/<app path>/something") as the web server will attempt to pass them as a reverse proxy request, and they will likely not work. If you need to, you can change the application path to be different from "/<app path>", see request.
