Re: Example Nginx config from Guix manual does not work

Hi Felix! Thank you for this solution. But my point was in starting nginx server without encryption. Probably it should be a separate argument or something. In my case I used (local-file ) to set needed settings but your suggestion looks nice. > On Dec 25, 2022, at 7:44 AM, Felix Lechner wrote:
