NGINX Processing Requests
We can indicate different virtual servers, and every server is portrayed by a server {} setting.
The above example will give nginx some knowledge on the most proficient method to deal with approaching solicitations. Most importantly, nginx will check the listen order to test which virtual server is tuning in on the given IP: port blend. Then the worth from the server_name mandate is tried against the Host header, which stores the server's area name.
Nginx picks the virtual server in the accompanying request:
server {
listen *:80 default_server;
server_name javatpoint.co;
return 200 "Hello from javatpoint.co";
}
server {
listen *:80;
server_name nikita.co;
return 200 "Hello from nikita.co";
}
server {
listen *:81;
server_name deep.co;
return 200 "Hello from deep.co";
}
From the above example, the result will be:
Request to nikita.co:80 => "Hello from nikita.co"
Request to www.nikita.co:80 => "Hello from javatpoint.co"
Request to deep.co:80 => "Hello from javatpoint.co"
Request to deep.co:81 => "Hello from nikita.co"
Request to nikita.co:81 => "Hello from deep.co"
The server_name directive
The server_name order is utilized to acknowledge numerous qualities; it is likewise used to deal with trump card coordinating and customary articulations.
server_name javatpoint.co www.javatpoint.co; # exact match
server_name *.javatpoint.co; # wildcard matching
server_name javatpoint.*; # wildcard matching
server_name ~^[0-9]*\.javatpoint\.co$; # regexp matching
there is any ambiguity, then nginx uses the following order:
Exact name;
Nginx will store three hash tables: careful names, trump cards beginning with a bullet, and special cases finishing with a reference mark. In the event that the outcome isn't in the above-pronounced tables, the standard articulations will be tried successively.
server_name .javatpoint.co;
It is an abbreviation of:
There is just a single distinction: .javatpoint.co is put away in the subsequent table, and that implies that it is without a doubt more slow than an express statement.
server_name javatpoint.co www.javatpoint.co *.javatpoint.co;
listen Directive
In most of the cases, we will see that the listen directive accepts IP: port values.
However, it is also possible to specify the sockets of UNIX-domain:
listen 127.0.0.1:80;
listen 127.0.0.1; # port :80 is used by default
listen *:81;
listen 81; # all ips are used by default
listen [::]:80; # IPv6 addresses
listen [::1]; # IPv6 addresses
listen unix:/var/run/nginx.sock;
Even we can use the hostnames:
listen localhost:80;
listen netguru.co:80;
And if the directive is not present, then use *:80.
