We run through a bit of tricky business - running Laravel within a subdirectory.

Setup Nginx for multi-tenancy (wildcard subdomains) with a little special configuration I like to add.

We'll see the fastest, easiest way to setup an SSL (TLS) certificates using certbot.

We'll see how Nginx default configuration falls short, and what to do about it.

We'll use dnsmasq and nginx on MacOS to setup a multi-tenant local dev environment. This lets us map subdomains of a .test domain to the same code base.

Nginx's try_files directive is seemingly simple, but actually has some surprising depth!

PHP is stateless, much like HTTP. This makes it weird but is one of its great strengths.

I came across Nginx Unit recently. Turns out, it's really cool! We can get rid of PHP-FPM, and run our apps more efficient. Let's see how, and go over the pros and cons.

Let's see how an HTTP request gets turned into code that Laravel can run!

PHP-FPM's default configuration is likely not optimized for your server. See why and how to fix it!

Remember when I called a reverse proxy "basically just a load balancer"? Ours doesn't balance any load. Let's fix that!

Our proxy isn't very graceful. If we turn it off, it cuts off all current connections. But Go handles this for us! We just need to orchestrate it. Let's see how.

So far we've just listened on port 80 for connections. Let's allow our proxy to listen on any port, and support TLS connections.

Golang has a Single Host Reverse Proxy. We'll expand on it by making it multi-host.

We'll start to create our own Reverse Proxy, onto which we'll eventually be adding a bunch of features.
