In this course, you'll begin by exploring the fundamentals of Nginx, starting with its architecture and key use cases. The journey starts with an introduction to web servers, diving deep into Nginx's role in modern infrastructure. You'll then install Nginx, set up your first website, and secure your server using essential firewall rules and port configurations. The course progresses into intermediate configurations, focusing on real-world applications such as deploying multiple sites on a single server using virtual hosts. You'll learn to configure Nginx as a load balancer to evenly distribute traffic across multiple servers, as well as set it up as a reverse proxy for backend services. Key techniques like URL redirection and URL rewriting will be covered to optimize user experience and site functionality. The final sections of the course emphasize security and performance optimization. You’ll implement SSL/TLS certificates for HTTPS, configure secure HTTP headers, and apply authentication methods to protect your sites. You'll also learn to improve server performance using caching, compression, and rate limiting while monitoring and troubleshooting your Nginx server for efficiency. By the end, you’ll have the expertise to deploy, secure, and optimize Nginx in production environments.
