nginx:tldr:6ab30

nginx: Start server with a custom configuration file.
$ nginx -c ${configuration_file}
try on your machine

This command is used to start the Nginx web server with a specific configuration file.

Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • nginx: This is the executable command that starts the Nginx web server.
  • -c: This is an option that specifies the path to the configuration file that Nginx should use. The ${configuration_file} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file.
  • ${configuration_file}: This is the path to the configuration file that should be used by Nginx. It should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file on the system.

By using this command, you can start Nginx with a specific configuration file instead of relying on the default configuration file. This allows you to have more control over the server's settings and behavior.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
