When should I use this nginx.conf?
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/nginx.conf, replace it, then reload or restart NGINX.
Is nginx.conf safe for production?
It is the vendor default for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (Plow). 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (Plow).
Can I use this for NGINX troubleshooting?
Yes. Diff it against yours to find drift, then restore only the sections you need.
