The default nginx configuration file inside /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

default nginx configuration file

# You should look at the following URL's in order to grasp a solid understanding
# of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls
# http://wiki.nginx.org/QuickStart
# http://wiki.nginx.org/Configuration
#
# Generally, you will want to move this file somewhere, and start with a clean
# file but keep this around for reference. Or just disable in sites-enabled.

# Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

# Default server configuration
#
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        # SSL configuration
        #
        # listen 443 ssl default_server;
        # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
        #
        # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
        #
        # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.

# Virtual Host configuration for example.com
#
# You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that

I have created a new Gist that will not be edited to promote ideologies (or anything else).

You can find it here, it has both this file and nginx.conf: https://gist.github.com/MiranDaniel/7d0dfe222fbc79c1126899cb51baefb2

I deleted mine and borked nginx. You are a lifesaver
