NginxProxySetup

Automated Nginx installation and reverse proxy configuration toolkit. Provides Bash scripts and templates to quickly deploy, manage, and maintain proxied websites with support for SSL and multiple upstream services.

Quick Start (Ubuntu 24.04)

Bootstrap server (default mode, no parameters):

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh

This mode:

• Installs only missing packages (nginx, certbot, python3-certbot-nginx, curl).
• Verifies that server has public IPv4.
• Enables certbot.timer for auto-renewal.

Add or update proxied domains:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh \
  --add \
  --email ops@example.com \
  --map app.example.com=10.10.0.15:8080 \
  --map api.example.com=10.10.0.16:9000

Add domain without SSL (HTTP-only):

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh \
  --add \
  --no-ssl \
  --map app.example.com=10.10.0.15:8080

Enable SSL later for an existing domain:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh \
  --enable-ssl \
  --email ops@example.com \
  --domain app.example.com

Disable SSL and switch domain back to HTTP:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --disable-ssl --domain app.example.com

Disable SSL and also remove certificate:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --disable-ssl --domain app.example.com --purge-cert

Show proxied domain list and status:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --list

Show package versions installed/used by the script:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --versions

Show nginx request statistics (including last 7 days from available logs):

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --stats

Show nginx request statistics for specific domain:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --stats --domain app.example.com

Disable domain without deleting:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --disable --domain app.example.com

Enable previously disabled domain:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --enable --domain app.example.com

Remove domain configuration:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --remove --domain app.example.com

Remove domain configuration and certificate:

sudo ./setup_nginx_reverse_proxy.sh --remove --domain app.example.com --purge-cert

Notes:

• Free SSL certificates are issued via Let's Encrypt.
• Auto-renewal is enabled with certbot.timer.
• DNS A records for configured domains must point to this server public IP (unless --skip-dns-check is used).
• Weekly request statistics depend on retained files in /var/log/nginx (logrotate retention).
• Domain-specific stats use /var/log/nginx/<domain>.access.log* for domains managed by this script.
