FAQ

When should I use this mime.types?

Use it to restore a missing default, confirm what shipped, or diff against your current NGINX config.

How do I restore NGINX defaults?

Download the file, back up the current one in /etc/nginx/mime.types, replace it, then reload or restart NGINX.

Is mime.types safe for production?

It is the vendor default for Debian 9 (Stretch). Treat it as a baseline and review security and performance settings before production use.

How does this differ from other OS versions?

Defaults vary by distro and version. This copy matches Debian 9 (Stretch).

Can I use this for NGINX troubleshooting?

Yes. Diff it against yours to find drift, then restore only the sections you need.
