Using nginx as a proxy to gunicorn / openerp

Following the by now best practices with 6.1, I am switching my prod and demo configruation to gunicorn. 

However, it is also recommended to setup a front-end to your server in order to make if faster and more robust.

 

Installing nginx on Ubuntu is easy as :

 

sudo apt-get nginx

setting up the server to proxy the gunicorn/ openerp, requires to add a site configuration in nginx. Here is a minimal version (it works but it contains no safety nor optimisation) :

 

server {

  listen 80;

  server_name demo.xxxx.be;

  location / {

    proxy_pass http://localhost:8069;

  }

}

See nginx.org for more info !
