Configure NGINX#

By default, NGINX is used as a proxy. The following configuration options are available for the NGINX extension.

Note

The ServerNamesHashBucketSize option, which allowed the user to manually set the bucket size for the server names hash table, was removed in MKE 3.4.2 because MKE now adaptively calculates the setting and overrides any manual input.
