Here’s how to mimic the Jekyll Development Server with Nginx for a production environment.
Create a new sites-available block (make sure to remove the default file, it’s already listening on port 80).
$ cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
$ sudo nano MYSITE
Copy and paste the following:
server {
listen 80
server_name mysite.example.com
root /YOUR-JEKYLL-SITE-PATH/_site
# Cache controle
expires 30s
add_header Cache-Control public
add_header ETag ""
# Error Pages
error_page 404 /404.html
error_page 500 /500.html
# Your static assets that won't need the cache reloaded.
location ~ ^/assets/ {
expires max
}
location ~ /. {
return 404
access_log off
log_not_found off
}
# Favicon handler
location = /favicon.ico {
try_files /favicon.ico =204
access_log off
log_not_found off
}
# 404 handler
location / {
try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404
}
}
Save this file with ctrl+x then Y and enter. Now we have to link our new configuration file to the sites-enabled directory and restart Nginx.
$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/MYSITE /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
$ sudo service nginx restart
You’re all set!
