Nginx configuration guide (Post-Installation)

This document describes how to configure Nginx after installing the executor-ui and executor-api packages. You must complete these steps to ensure that the frontend and backend services are properly served over HTTP or HTTPS.

Most systems ship with a default virtual host that may conflict with your custom Executor configuration.

To avoid unexpected routing issues, remove the default site:

sudo rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Then reload Nginx:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

2. Edit Executor Nginx configuration​

In this step /etc/nginx/sites-available/executor file will be created dirung installetion step. Open this file and edit server_name parameter in order to your domain name.

server {
    # Replace with your domain or server IP
    server_name executor.example.com; 

    ...
}

3. Using an IP address instead of a domain​

If you want the application to run directly on the machine’s IP address, update:

server_name _;

This tells Nginx to respond to all unspecified hosts.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name _;

    ...
}

Reload Nginx:

sudo systemctl reload nginx

4. Verify Nginx status​

Check for syntax errors:

sudo nginx -t

Restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Ensure it’s active:

sudo systemctl status nginx

This completes the post-installation web server configuration for Executor.
