The Nginx configuration for Ghost using the One-Click app is located at /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ghost
and looks like:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name my-ghost-blog.com; # Replace with your domain
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
client_max_body_size 10G;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:2368;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_buffering off;
}
}
In order to serve a separate site on a sub-domain from the same droplet, you’d need to set up another server block. The key is to set the the server_name
so that Nginx knows where to direct the requests. For a basic site, you’d simply need to add something like:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/html/mysite;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name subdomain.mysite.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Where root
points to the directory containing your site.
