You most likely have already a webserver running on port 80 (http) and 443 (https). It also should serve Diasporas static content and forward all other requests to Diaspora. Here are some example configurations to achieve that:

ive searched the web and merged some configs, this one works for me,
cut and paste replace SERVERNAME.NET for your domain name. and ofcourse the PATH for PUBLIC and Certifactes


Problem here is not really NGinX but centos AUDIT, it took me a LONG while to figure out
* '''Apache''': https://gist.github.com/719014
that the AUDIT system was blocking requests
* '''Caddy''': https://gist.github.com/oliof/57345a6596bb3a564f68d1482fb383f9
Basically this fixed it (+ disabling all hidden firewalls and just enabling iptables)

Reverse proxy

To connect the internet to diaspora*, and to serve static files, you need to set up a reverse proxy. We highly recommend nginx, and you can find an example configuration for nginx here.

Alternatives to nginx (not recommended)

Alternatively, you can check out these community-contributed options. However, please note that we will have a hard time supporting you if you run into issues with them!
