Check the permissions on /, /home, /home/demo, etc. for www-data x access. My guess is that /home is probably 770 and www-data can’t chdir through it to get to any subdir. … Read more
Well, I think nginx by itself doesn’t have that in its setup, because the Ubuntu-maintained package does it as a convention to imitate Debian’s apache setup. You could create it yourself if you wanted to emulate the same setup.

It looks like you are using a custom Kubernetes Cluster (using minikube, kubeadm or the like). In this case, there is no LoadBalancer integrated (unlike AWS or Google Cloud). With this default setup, you can only use NodePort or an Ingress Controller. With the Ingress Controller you can setup a domain name which maps to … Read more
From the HTTP core module docs: Directives with the “=” prefix that match the query exactly. If found, searching stops. All remaining directives with conventional strings. If this match used the “^~” prefix, searching stops. Regular expressions, in the order they are defined in the configuration file. If #3 yielded a match, that result is … Read more
