server {
server_name latribu.mx www.latribu.mx;
root /var/www/latribu.mx/html/system/nginx-root;
location / {

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2368;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
client_max_body_size 50m;
listen [::]:443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/latribu.mx/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/latribu.mx/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot

How can i add .htaccess file to my project

Answer 1

Nginx does not support .htaccess file like Apache. If you want to enable GZip with Nginx, open /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. Scroll down to the GZip settings section and add these lines.
gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
Then restart Nginx with service nginx restart.

First of all, add your .htaccess where you want. Let's say it's in /var/projects/projectName/.htaccess
In location / { => you have to add
auth_basic "Restricted Content";
auth_basic_user_file /var/projects/projectName/.htaccess;
Hope this was helpful
