I'm using [nginx][] as my main webserver and proxy for all my other projects (let it be node.js or ruby things).
|
|
|
|
Now that [ipv6][] is more and more used, I decided to let this blog get served over ipv6 as well.
|
|
|
|
Get nginx' latest version (1.0.6 at this time) from their [downloads section][download].
|
|
To compile nginx with ipv6 support all you need to do is let `configure` know about this (last line):
|
|
|
|
./configure \
|
|
--prefix=/usr/local \
|
|
--with-http_ssl_module \
|
|
--with-http_realip_module \
|
|
--with-http_gzip_static_module \
|
|
--with-ipv6
|
|
|
|
Then compile and install it:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
su -c 'make install'
|
|
|
|
Add this line to your nginx.conf:
|
|
|
|
listen [::]:80;
|
|
|
|
Restart your server and it just works.
