Nginx Admins Handbook
This project is an NGINX administration guide and security hardening manual providing a collection of best practices and technical instructions for optimizing server performance and configuration. It serves as a resource for NGINX deployment automation, specifically focusing on installing and configuring the server from source using scripts to manage dependencies and custom parameters.
The guide emphasizes security hardening through auditing checklists and methods designed to prevent sensitive information leaks. It provides technical strategies and configuration patterns to improve resource efficiency and throughput for web servers.
The material covers a range of administrative capabilities, including server management for domain requests, configuration auditing to identify performance gaps, and the generation of static error pages to prevent version leakage. It also includes automation for unattended server installation and the parsing of server name blocks.
