Example nginx reverse proxy configuration

The following config is a plex in subdir ssl reverse proxy nginx example (one I use).

  # nginx conf, ssl, reverse proxy.
  server {
            listen 80;
            listen 443 ssl;
            server_name plex.pvt;
            root /home/plexdir;
            # ssl
            ssl_certificate /home/plexdir/plex.pvt.crt;
            ssl_certificate_key /home/plexdir/plex.pvt.key;
            ssl_dhparam /home/plexdir/plex.pvt.dhparam;
