Nginx is an open source Web server and a reverse proxy server.

In this recipe you will learn how to set up Nginx proxy with Minio Server.

Install Nginx

You can follow the official Niginx page for downloading and installing Nginx server.

All you have to do is to add below content as a file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled and also remove the existing default file in same directory.

server {
 listen 80;
 server_name example.com;
 location / {
   proxy_set_header Host $host;
   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
   proxy_pass http://localhost:9000;
 }

Note:

• example.com is example hostname, replace it with yours.
• My Minio server is running http://localhost:9000 so you can change this according to yours.
