Théophile Gervreau-Mercier 942a93a3ad refactor: update nginx config for new structure
- Updated posterg.conf with new directory structure
- Document root: /var/www/posterg/public
- Explicitly deny access to: /src, /templates, /config, /storage, /tests, /scripts, /docs
- Added structure diagram in comments
- Updated deploy scripts security checks
- Replaced outdated posterg.conf.reference

All non-public directories outside webroot for security.
Defense-in-depth: explicit deny rules even though paths outside /public.

# Nginx Configuration - Post-ERG
This directory contains nginx configuration and setup scripts for the Post-ERG thesis website.
## 📁 Files
- **`posterg.conf`** - Complete nginx configuration file
- **`setup-password.sh`** - Script to create admin passwords
- **`SETUP.md`** - Detailed setup instructions
- **`QUICK_REFERENCE.md`** - Command reference and troubleshooting
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Deploy nginx configuration (automated)
```bash
# From your local machine
just deploy-nginx
# Then on the server:
ssh posterg
sudo bash /tmp/deploy-production.sh
```
The deployment script will:
- ✅ Fix file permissions (posterg group)
- ✅ Set up admin password (if needed)
- ✅ Install nginx configuration
- ✅ Test and reload nginx
- ✅ Verify PHP-FPM is running
### 2. SSL/TLS
SSL/TLS is handled by the upstream reverse proxy and is already working.
No additional SSL setup is needed on this server.
## 🔒 Security Features
### Admin Panel Protection
- **Password required** for `/formulaire/` (admin panel)
- HTTP Basic Authentication
- Rate limited: 10 requests/minute
### File Access Protection
- Database files (`.db`) - **BLOCKED**
- Sensitive files (`.md`, `.sql`, `.env`) - **BLOCKED**

- Admin panel: 10/minute
### Security Headers
- ✅ X-Frame-Options (clickjacking protection)
- ✅ X-Content-Type-Options (MIME sniffing protection)
- ✅ X-XSS-Protection (XSS filter)

## 🧪 Testing
Test your configuration:
```bash
# Test admin authentication
curl -I https://posterg.erg.be/formulaire/
# Test file protection
curl -I https://posterg.erg.be/storage/posterg.db
# Test security headers
curl -I https://posterg.erg.be/ | grep -E "X-|Strict-Transport"
```
## 🆘 Quick Help
### Admin can't log in
```bash
# Reset password
sudo htpasswd /etc/nginx/.htpasswd-posterg admin
```
### 502 Bad Gateway
```bash
# Check PHP-FPM
sudo systemctl status php8.2-fpm
sudo systemctl restart php8.2-fpm
```
### Configuration errors
```bash
# Test and show errors
sudo nginx -t
```
## 📊 Monitoring
```bash
# Watch access logs
sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/posterg_access.log
# Watch error logs
sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/posterg_error.log
# Check nginx status
sudo systemctl status nginx
```
## 🔄 Maintenance
### Change admin password
```bash
sudo htpasswd /etc/nginx/.htpasswd-posterg admin
```
### Reload after config changes
```bash
sudo nginx -t && sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
### Renew SSL certificate
```bash
sudo certbot renew
```
