# Nginx Configs

This repository holds the nginx configuration for NHCarrigan's production server, with scripts for deploying and pulling changes.

## Directory Structure

```
nginx/nginx/             # Maps directly to /etc/nginx/ on the server
├── nginx.conf           # Global settings (workers, gzip, TLS, logging)
├── conf.d/
│   ├── cloudflare_ips.conf   # Real-IP trust for Cloudflare ranges (auto-updated by cron)
│   ├── logging.conf          # Custom log formats (custom_format + json_analytics)
│   └── tuning.conf           # Performance tweaks (server_names_hash_bucket_size)
├── sites-available/     # One .conf file per logical group of sites
│   └── *.conf
├── sites-enabled/       # Symlinks to active configs in sites-available/
│   └── * -> ../sites-available/*.conf
└── ...                  # Standard nginx package files (mime.types, proxy_params, etc.)
```

## Adding a New Site

1. **Identify the right file.** Each `sites-available/*.conf` has a comment at the top describing what belongs there. Pick the most appropriate file, or create a new one if the site does not fit anywhere.

2. **Add the server block**, following this template for a proxied app:
   ```nginx
   server {
     listen 443 ssl;
     server_name yourapp.nhcarrigan.com;
     ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourapp.nhcarrigan.com/fullchain.pem;
     ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourapp.nhcarrigan.com/privkey.pem;

     location / {
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>;
       proxy_redirect off;
     }
   }
   ```
   Or this template for a static site:
   ```nginx
   server {
     listen 443 ssl;
     server_name yoursite.nhcarrigan.com;
     ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/yoursite.nhcarrigan.com/fullchain.pem;
     ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/yoursite.nhcarrigan.com/privkey.pem;

     root /home/naomi/yoursite;

     location / {
       index index.html;
     }
   }
   ```

3. **Keep server blocks sorted alphabetically** by `server_name` within the file. The CI sort check will fail if they are out of order. Note that hyphenated names sort before the bare domain in C locale (e.g. `app-api` before `app`).

4. **If you created a new `.conf` file**, create the corresponding symlink in `sites-enabled/`:
   ```bash
   cd nginx/nginx/sites-enabled
   ln -s ../sites-available/newfile.conf newfile.conf
   ```

5. **Get the SSL certificate** on the server before deploying:
   ```bash
   sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d yourapp.nhcarrigan.com
   ```

6. **Run the tests** locally to verify everything passes:
   ```bash
   bash test.sh
   ```

7. **Deploy** (see below).

## Removing a Site

1. Delete the server block from the relevant `sites-available/*.conf` file.
2. If the entire `.conf` file is now empty, delete the file and its `sites-enabled/` symlink.
3. Run `bash test.sh` to confirm nothing is broken.
4. Deploy.

## Deploying Changes

Push the local `nginx/nginx/` directory to the server (the `--delete` flag removes any files on the server that no longer exist locally):

```bash
bash push.sh
```

Then reload nginx to apply the changes:

```bash
ssh prod "sudo systemctl reload nginx"
```

To pull the current server config back into this repository:

```bash
bash pull.sh
```

## Testing

The test suite runs static analysis checks against the config files without requiring a live nginx instance:

```bash
bash test.sh
```

The following checks are run:

| # | Check |
|---|-------|
| 1 | No deprecated TLS versions (TLSv1 / TLSv1.1) |
| 2 | No duplicate `server_name` values |
| 3 | Every `sites-available/*.conf` has a `sites-enabled` symlink |
| 4 | No broken symlinks in `sites-enabled` |
| 5 | No orphaned symlinks in `sites-enabled` |
| 6 | No port-80 listeners in custom server blocks |
| 7 | `ssl_certificate` and `ssl_certificate_key` counts match per file |
| 8 | All plain-HTTP `proxy_pass` targets are local |
| 9 | All SSL cert paths use `/etc/letsencrypt/live/` |
| 10 | Certs use `fullchain.pem` / keys use `privkey.pem` |
| 11 | No raw IP addresses as `server_name` |
| 12 | `conf.d` contains only expected files |
| 13 | Server blocks are sorted alphabetically by `server_name` within each file |

CI additionally runs an nginx syntax check (`nginx -t`) using stub SSL certificates, catching any configuration errors that static analysis cannot detect.
