SSL Configuration with NGINX

The GigaFox installer automatically creates the necessary components, located in the /usr/local/etc/ nginx/nginx.d folder, to enable SSL on the GEM.

nginx.d folder contains:

  • cert.key (GEM’s key)
  • cert.pem (GEM’s certificate)
  • dc-000web
  • site-http
  • site-https
  • options.enable-ssl
  • example-user-options

example-user-options is a sample file containing custom configurations that will not be overwritten.


   include /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.d/options.enable-ssl;

To enable SSL:

  1. Rename example-user-options file to user-options. NGINX configuration will include files starting with user-.
  2. On the command line, run nginx -s reload.
