Have you previously configured an NGINX server and how?

Yes, I have configured the NGINX server for various purposes: as a reverse proxy for applications, for static content delivery, and load balancing. Typically, the configuration includes defining a server block with settings for listen, server_name, and location to route requests.

Example of a basic reverse proxy configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}
