configure-nginx SKILL.md skillA
configure-nginx from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/configure-nginx@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Configure Nginx as a web server and reverse proxy. Covers static file serving, reverse proxy to upstream services, SSL/TLS termination with Let's Encrypt, location blocks, load balancing, rate limiting, and security headers. Use when serving static files in production, reverse proxying to backend services (Node.js, Python, R/Shiny), terminating SSL/TLS, load balancing across instances, or adding rate limiting and security headers to harden an endpoint.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Configure Nginx
Set up Nginx as a web server and reverse proxy with SSL termination and security hardening.
## When to Use
- Serving static files (HTML, CSS, JS) in production
- Reverse proxying to backend services (Node.js, Python, Go, R/Shiny)
- Terminating SSL/TLS with Let's Encrypt certificates
- Load balancing across multiple backend instances
- Adding rate limiting and security headers
## Inputs
- **Required**: Deployment target (Docker container or bare metal)
- **Required**: Backend service(s) to proxy (host:port)
- **Optional**: Domain name for SSL
- **Optional**: Static file directory
## Procedure
### Step 1: Basic Reverse Proxy
`nginx.conf`:
```nginx
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
upstream app {
server app:3000;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://app;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
}
}
```
Docker Compose service:
```yaml
services:
nginx:

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/configure-nginx@sha256:3b13a026b047ec44The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
