nginx dynamic virtual hosts
With nginx is there a method to setup mass dynamic virtual hosts similar to the way apache2 can be configured? I'm setting up an saas application each user will have their own subdomain and i'd like to use nginx over apache2.
Thanks
Code below should be how to configure
map $http_host $subdir {
hostnames;
default "default";
.foo.bar.com "foo";
.baz.bar.com "baz";
}
server {
root /path/to/$subdir;
}
Solution 1:
Yes, setting up virtual hosts is definitely possible, please check Nginx documentation on server configuration directive and default config samples. The easiest way is to put server
config sections in separate files under /etc/nginx/conf.d
and to include them by a pattern, like include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
in the main nginx config file.
