Description

On https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/mirror/#index5h2 there is documentation for apache and lighttpd, but no nginx.

It should be nice to add an nginx one, like

server {
  listen   [::]:80;
  server_name dl.amnesia.boum.org;
  root /var/www/THE_PLACE_WHERE_YOU_WANT_OUR_FILES_TO_LIVE;
  location / {
    autoindex on;
  }
}

Configuration not tested but provided by petrus. Thanks to him.

Thanks. Anyone feeling like testing this?

It works here (I had to remove the “listen…” line since I already have another vhost).

Thank you. I think the “I already have another vhost” case is the general case, so the sample configuration should probably just drop the listen stanzy.

Do you mean it works for running a live Tails mirror, or anything else? (If anything else, please clarify, so that I know what level of confidence we can put into this file :)

It works for running a tor mirror. I’m currently setting up one.

A tails* mirror. Sorry for the mistake.
