NullifyNetwork

I'll preface this by saying this post is just for me, it's for Alpine Linux and specific to one use case where I need a static file webserver but want to reconfigure the domains occasionally.

You can set up self-reloading config if you have a script that watches for file changes to the conf files. Just apk add inotify-tools and then create a script like this in /etc/inotify/nginx-reload.sh and make it chmod u+x nginx-reload.sh:-

#!/bin/bash

set -e

while true; do
    while inotifywait /var/www -e modify --include '.*\.conf'; do
        nginx -s reload
    done
done

You then need to set this up to run on startup using openrc. Put the following in /etc/init.d/nginxreload and again, chmod it u+x:-

#!/sbin/openrc-run

name="Nginx Reloader"
command="/etc/inotify/nginx-reload.sh"
command_args=""
command_user="root"
command_background=true
pidfile="/etc/inotify/nginx-reload.pid"

depend() {
        need net localmount
}

Now run:-

rc-update add nginxreload default
service nginxreload start

And any edits to the conf files specified result in nginx reloading its configuration.

Are you having issues with loading the designer and getting InvalidOperationException and a NamedPipeTimeout trying to connect?

Open a PowerShell in Admin mode and run this to set an exclusion in Defender for the design server:-

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionProcess 'DesignToolsServer.exe'
