Nginx is the web server we trust for speed and stability. Here is a clean install on Debian 11.
Install
sudo apt updatensudo apt install nginx -y
Start and enable
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
Visit your server IP — you should see the Nginx welcome page.
Open the firewall
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
Next: HTTPS
Add a free Let’s Encrypt certificate with Certbot so traffic is encrypted by default.
We host and maintain integration servers like this so you never have to think about them.
Tuned for production
Beyond the defaults, we tune worker processes, gzip and caching headers, and put the site behind HTTPS — so your server stays fast and secure under real traffic.
