FreeBSD with Nginx

mmpg

I saw many materials from difference conferences from Netflix about running Nginx on FreeBSD.
Anyone has some experience with running small deployment (few instances) of Nginx instances on FreeBSD comparing to Linux installation?

mmpg Well in standard configurations you don't have sites-available. The config file is located in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.confand here you add your websites and configure nginx too. In default configuration nginx uses /usr/local/www instead of /var/www. Sorry for my bad English.

Edit: I can send you some screenshots if you want.

The main difference is that I replace the stock config with one that behaves like Debian, i.e. with the sites-available and sites-enabled subdirs. I did that so that I could deploy to Ubuntu-server or FreeBSD using a common Ansible role. Currently I have only deployed nginx to FreeBSD, the Ubuntu ones were directly setup using Digital Ocean pre-installed images. I also use acme.sh to handle the certs, so TLS config is automated as well.
