NGINX Configuration

To configure SSL in NGINX, we typically use a reverse proxy configuration. Here's how do it

For Influx DB

1. Create a Configuration File: You'll need to create a new configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available directory.

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/influx.example.com

   Replace influx.example.com with a name for your site.

2. Configure NGINX: In the configuration file, you'll set up a reverse proxy to pass requests from NGINX to your influx service running on port 8086.

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name influx.example.com; # Change this to your actual domain
   
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://localhost:8086; # InfluxDB address
           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;
       }
   }

   Make sure to replace influx.example.com with your actual domain name or server IP address.

3. Enable the Configuration: Create a symbolic link to enable your configuration file in the sites-enabled directory:

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/influx.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

4. Test Configuration: Before restarting NGINX, it's a good idea to check if your configuration syntax is correct:

   sudo nginx -t

5. Reload NGINX: If the test is successful, reload NGINX to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl reload nginx

For Grafana

1. Create a Configuration File: You'll need to create a new configuration file in /etc/nginx/sites-available directory.

   sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/influx.example.com

   Replace influx.example.com with a name for your site.

2. Configure NGINX: In the configuration file, you'll set up a reverse proxy to pass requests from NGINX to your influx service running on port 8086.

   server {
       listen 80;
       server_name influx.example.com; # Change this to your actual domain
   
       location / {
           proxy_pass http://localhost:8086; # InfluxDB address
           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;
       }
   }

   Make sure to replace influx.example.com with your actual domain name or server IP address.

   sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/influx.example.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

   sudo nginx -t

   sudo systemctl reload nginx
