Create a custom nginx.conf file

[ivan-rivera]

First, thank you for this amazing tutorial. When I reached the Nginx installation section, I thought that it wasn't optimal to move the contents of my frontend into the nginx HTML directory and instead I decided to create a custom nginx.conf file in my sa-frontend repo, so that way I can launch the server with nginx -c nginx.conf. Here is what the server definition of my conf file looks like:

  server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    location / {
      root   /path/to/sa-frontend/build;
      index  index.html;
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
      root   html;
    }
  }

I think this is a cleaner solution for running the app locally, however, if we run the app on Docker, then we should probably stick with the original approach.

I like this, does it work for Windows?

Does it work on Windows? Good question! I'm not sure, I think it should, but I tested it on a Mac

Mac is using linux underneath, which uses the same structure of storing files, I am not sure how nginx would react with spaces which are rlly frequent in Windows. I currently do not have a Win computer, but if it could be tested there it'd be great and I could update the article Best Rinor ✌️
