The nginx documentation has plenty of information on how to serve static files directly:
https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/serving-static-content/
I am currently studing them but am not quite fully understanding how things work. Specifically I don't understand how the vairables below -- such as http_host, $remote_addr, etc -- get defined. server { location / { proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_pass http://localhost:5000; } }
