Nginx is included in Gitpod's workspace-full docker image. This example shows how to interact with Nginx and how to configure Nginx. Configuration is optionl, since a default configuration is included in workspace-full.

open https://gitpod.io#https://github.com/gitpod-io/nginx-example

1. optional: custom nginx.conf.
2. optional: set www-root via NGINX_DOCROOT_IN_REPO via Dockerfile (you don't want a custom nginx.conf).
3. follow the Nginx logs in the Gitpod Terminal View via multitail (see .gitpod.yaml).
