  • reading from right to left
  • top-level domain, or TLD
  • first-level subdomains plus their TLDs (example.com) are referred to as “domains.”
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • Name servers host a domain’s DNS information in a text file called the zone file
  • Start of Authority (SOA) records
  • You’ll want to specify at least two name servers. That way, if one of them is down, the next one can continue to serve your DNS information.
  • Every domain’s zone file contains the admin’s email address, the name servers, and the DNS records.
  • a zone file, which lists domains and their corresponding IP addresses (and a few other things)
  • TLD nameserver
  • ISPs cache a lot of DNS information after they’ve looked it up the first time
  • Usually caching is a good thing, but it can be a problem if you’ve recently made a change to your DNS information
  • An A record matches up a domain (or subdomain) to an IP address
  • point different subdomains to different IP addresses
  • An AAAA record is just like an A record, but for IPv6 IP addresses.
  • An AXFR record is a type of DNS record used for DNS replication
  • used on a slave DNS server to replicate the zone file from a master DNS server
  • DNS Certification Authority Authorization uses DNS to allow the holder of a domain to specify which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for that domain.
  • A CNAME record or Canonical Name record matches up a domain (or subdomain) to a different domain.
  • You should not use a CNAME record for a domain that gets email, because some mail servers handle mail oddly for domains with CNAME records
  • the target domain for a CNAME record should have a normal A-record resolution
  • a CNAME record does not function the same way as a URL redirect
  • A DKIM record or domain keys identified mail record displays the public key for authenticating messages that have been signed with the DKIM protocol
  • An MX record or mail exchange record sets the mail delivery destination for a domain (or subdomain).
  • Ideally, an MX record should point to a domain that is also the hostname for its server.
  • Your MX records don’t necessarily have to point to your Linode. If you’re using a third-party mail service, like Google Apps, you should use the MX records they provide.
  • Lower numbers have a higher priority
  • NS records or name server records set the nameservers for a domain (or subdomain).
  • You can also set up different nameservers for any of your subdomains.
  • The order of NS records does not matter; DNS requests are sent randomly to the different servers, and if one host fails to respond, another one will be queried.
  • A PTR record or pointer record matches up an IP address to a domain (or subdomain), allowing reverse DNS queries to function.
  • PTR records are usually set with your hosting provider. They are not part of your domain’s zone file.
  • An SOA record or Start of Authority record labels a zone file with the name of the host where it was originally created.
  • The administrative email address is written with a period (.) instead of an at symbol (<@>).
  • The single nameserver mentioned in the SOA record is considered the primary master for the purposes of Dynamic DNS and is the server where zone file changes get made before they are propagated to all other nameservers.
  • An SPF record or Sender Policy Framework record lists the designated mail servers for a domain (or subdomain).
  • An SPF record for your domain tells other receiving mail servers which outgoing server(s) are valid sources of email, so they can reject spoofed email from your domain that has originated from unauthorized servers.
  • Your SPF record will have a domain or subdomain, type (which is TXT, or SPF if your name server supports it), and text (which starts with “v=spf1” and contains the SPF record settings).
  • An SRV record or service record matches up a specific service that runs on your domain (or subdomain) to a target domain.
  • A TXT record or text record provides information about the domain in question to other resources on the Internet.
  • One common use of the TXT record is to create an SPF record on nameservers that don’t natively support SPF.

shared by 張 旭 on 05 Dec 17 - No Cached
  • discussing the basic structure of an Nginx configuration file along with some guidelines on how to design your files
  • /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
  • In Nginx parlance, the areas that these brackets define are called "contexts" because they contain configuration details that are separated according to their area of concern
  • ...50 more annotations...
  • contexts can be layered within one another
  • if a directive is valid in multiple nested scopes, a declaration in a broader context will be passed on to any child contexts as default values.
  • The children contexts can override these values at will
  • Nginx will error out on reading a configuration file with directives that are declared in the wrong context.
  • The most general context is the "main" or "global" context
  • Any directive that exist entirely outside of these blocks is said to inhabit the "main" context
  • The main context represents the broadest environment for Nginx configuration.
  • The "events" context is contained within the "main" context. It is used to set global options that affect how Nginx handles connections at a general level.
  • Nginx uses an event-based connection processing model, so the directives defined within this context determine how worker processes should handle connections.
  • the connection processing method is automatically selected based on the most efficient choice that the platform has available
  • a worker will only take a single connection at a time
  • When configuring Nginx as a web server or reverse proxy, the "http" context will hold the majority of the configuration.
  • The http context is a sibling of the events context, so they should be listed side-by-side, rather than nested
  • fine-tune the TCP keep alive settings (keepalive_disable, keepalive_requests, and keepalive_timeout)
  • The "server" context is declared within the "http" context.
  • multiple declarations
  • each instance defines a specific virtual server to handle client requests
  • Each client request will be handled according to the configuration defined in a single server context, so Nginx must decide which server context is most appropriate based on details of the request.
  • listen: The ip address / port combination that this server block is designed to respond to.
  • server_name: This directive is the other component used to select a server block for processing.
  • "Host" header
  • configure files to try to respond to requests (try_files)
  • issue redirects and rewrites (return and rewrite)
  • set arbitrary variables (set)
  • Location contexts share many relational qualities with server contexts
  • multiple location contexts can be defined, each location is used to handle a certain type of client request, and each location is selected by virtue of matching the location definition against the client request through a selection algorithm
  • Location blocks live within server contexts and, unlike server blocks, can be nested inside one another.
  • While server contexts are selected based on the requested IP address/port combination and the host name in the "Host" header, location blocks further divide up the request handling within a server block by looking at the request URI
  • The request URI is the portion of the request that comes after the domain name or IP address/port combination.
  • New directives at this level allow you to reach locations outside of the document root (alias), mark the location as only internally accessible (internal), and proxy to other servers or locations (using http, fastcgi, scgi, and uwsgi proxying).
  • These can then be used to do A/B testing by providing different content to different hosts.
  • configures Perl handlers for the location they appear in
  • set the value of a variable depending on the value of another variable
  • used to map MIME types to the file extensions that should be associated with them.
  • this context defines a named pool of servers that Nginx can then proxy requests to
  • The upstream context should be placed within the http context, outside of any specific server contexts.
  • The upstream context can then be referenced by name within server or location blocks to pass requests of a certain type to the pool of servers that have been defined.
  • function as a high performance mail proxy server
  • The mail context is defined within the "main" or "global" context (outside of the http context).
  • Nginx has the ability to redirect authentication requests to an external authentication server
  • the if directive in Nginx will execute the instructions contained if a given test returns "true".
  • Since Nginx will test conditions of a request with many other purpose-made directives, if should not be used for most forms of conditional execution.
  • The limit_except context is used to restrict the use of certain HTTP methods within a location context.
  • The result of the above example is that any client can use the GET and HEAD verbs, but only clients coming from the 192.168.1.1/24 subnet are allowed to use other methods.
  • Many directives are valid in more than one context
  • it is usually best to declare directives in the highest context to which they are applicable, and overriding them in lower contexts as necessary.
  • Declaring at higher levels provides you with a sane default
  • Nginx already engages in a well-documented selection algorithm for things like selecting server blocks and location blocks.
  • instead of relying on rewrites to get a user supplied request into the format that you would like to work with, you should try to set up two blocks for the request, one of which represents the desired method, and the other that catches messy requests and redirects (and possibly rewrites) them to your correct block.
  • incorrect requests can get by with a redirect rather than a rewrite, which should execute with lower overhead.

  • Certificate Signing Request.
  • Some applications can generate these for submission to certificate-authorities
  • These get signed by the CA and a certificate is returned
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • The returned certificate is the public certificate (which includes the public key but not the private key), which itself can be in a couple of formats.
  • this is a container format that may include just the public certificate (such as with Apache installs, and CA certificate files /etc/ssl/certs), or may include an entire certificate chain including public key, private key, and root certificates
  • Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), a failed method for secure email but the container format it used lives on
  • This is a PEM formatted file containing just the private-key of a specific certificate and is merely a conventional name and not a standardized one.
  • The rights on these files are very important
  • /etc/ssl/private
  • OpenSSL can convert these to .pem
  • .cert .cer .crt A .pem (or rarely .der) formatted file with a different extension
  • there are four different ways to present certificates and their components
  • used preferentially by open-source software
  • It can have a variety of extensions (.pem, .key, .cer, .cert, more)
  • The parent format of PEM
  • a binary version of the base64-encoded PEM file.
  • PEM on it's own isn't a certificate, it's just a way of encoding data
  • X.509 certificates are one type of data that is commonly encoded using PEM.

web server nginx config

shared by 張 旭 on 03 Feb 20 - No Cached
  • A server block is a subset of Nginx’s configuration that defines a virtual server used to handle requests of a defined type. Administrators often configure multiple server blocks and decide which block should handle which connection based on the requested domain name, port, and IP address.
  • A location block lives within a server block and is used to define how Nginx should handle requests for different resources and URIs for the parent server. The URI space can be subdivided in whatever way the administrator likes using these blocks. It is an extremely flexible model.
  • Nginx logically divides the configurations meant to serve different content into blocks, which live in a hierarchical structure. Each time a client request is made, Nginx begins a process of determining which configuration blocks should be used to handle the request.
  • ...37 more annotations...
  • Nginx is one of the most popular web servers in the world. It can successfully handle high loads with many concurrent client connections, and can easily function as a web server, a mail server, or a reverse proxy server.
  • The main server block directives that Nginx is concerned with during this process are the listen directive, and the server_name directive.
  • The listen directive typically defines which IP address and port that the server block will respond to.
  • 0.0.0.0:8080 if Nginx is being run by a normal, non-root user
  • Nginx translates all “incomplete” listen directives by substituting missing values with their default values so that each block can be evaluated by its IP address and port.
  • In any case, the port must be matched exactly.
  • If there are multiple server blocks with the same level of specificity matching, Nginx then begins to evaluate the server_name directive of each server block.
  • Nginx will only evaluate the server_name directive when it needs to distinguish between server blocks that match to the same level of specificity in the listen directive.
  • Nginx checks the request’s “Host” header. This value holds the domain or IP address that the client was actually trying to reach.
  • Nginx will first try to find a server block with a server_name that matches the value in the “Host” header of the request exactly.
  • If no exact match is found, Nginx will then try to find a server block with a server_name that matches using a leading wildcard (indicated by a * at the beginning of the name in the config).
  • If no match is found using a leading wildcard, Nginx then looks for a server block with a server_name that matches using a trailing wildcard (indicated by a server name ending with a * in the config)
  • If no match is found using a trailing wildcard, Nginx then evaluates server blocks that define the server_name using regular expressions (indicated by a ~ before the name).
  • If no regular expression match is found, Nginx then selects the default server block for that IP address and port.
  • There can be only one default_server declaration per each IP address/port combination.
  • Location blocks live within server blocks (or other location blocks) and are used to decide how to process the request URI (the part of the request that comes after the domain name or IP address/port).
  • If no modifiers are present, the location is interpreted as a prefix match.
  • =: If an equal sign is used, this block will be considered a match if the request URI exactly matches the location given.
  • ~: If a tilde modifier is present, this location will be interpreted as a case-sensitive regular expression match.
  • ~*: If a tilde and asterisk modifier is used, the location block will be interpreted as a case-insensitive regular expression match.
  • ^~: If a carat and tilde modifier is present, and if this block is selected as the best non-regular expression match, regular expression matching will not take place.
  • Keep in mind that if this block is selected and the request is fulfilled using an index page, an internal redirect will take place to another location that will be the actual handler of the request
  • Keeping in mind the types of location declarations we described above, Nginx evaluates the possible location contexts by comparing the request URI to each of the locations.
  • Nginx begins by checking all prefix-based location matches (all location types not involving a regular expression).
  • First, Nginx looks for an exact match.
  • If no exact (with the = modifier) location block matches are found, Nginx then moves on to evaluating non-exact prefixes.
  • After the longest matching prefix location is determined and stored, Nginx moves on to evaluating the regular expression locations (both case sensitive and insensitive).
  • by default, Nginx will serve regular expression matches in preference to prefix matches.
  • regular expression matches within the longest prefix match will “jump the line” when Nginx evaluates regex locations.
  • The exceptions to the “only one location block” rule may have implications on how the request is actually served and may not align with the expectations you had when designing your location blocks.
  • The index directive always leads to an internal redirect if it is used to handle the request.
  • In the case above, if you really need the execution to stay in the first block, you will have to come up with a different method of satisfying the request to the directory.
  • one way of preventing an index from switching contexts, but it’s probably not useful for most configurations
  • the try_files directive. This directive tells Nginx to check for the existence of a named set of files or directories.
  • the rewrite directive. When using the last parameter with the rewrite directive, or when using no parameter at all, Nginx will search for a new matching location based on the results of the rewrite.
  • The error_page directive can lead to an internal redirect similar to that created by try_files.
  • when certain status codes are encountered.
