##  Nginx proxy configuration
This is the default nginx configuration for gancio, please modify at least the **server_name** and **ssl_certificate**'s path.  
Note that this does not include a cache configuration and that gancio does
not use a cache control at all, if you can help with this task you're
welcome.

```nginx
server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  server_name gancio.cisti.org;
  root /var/www/letsencrypt;
  location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ { allow all; }
  location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }
}

server {
  listen 443 ssl http2;
  listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
  server_name gancio.cisti.org;

  ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
  ssl_ciphers HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!aNULL:!NULL:!SHA;
  ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
  ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

  # Uncomment these lines once you acquire a certificate:
  # ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/gancio.cisti.org/fullchain.pem;
  # ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/gancio.cisti.org/privkey.pem;
