Configuration for nginx

This configuration will set up phpfpm for serving php files from /var/www/example.com. put into your configuration.nix <syntaxHighlight lang=nix> {

     services.phpfpm.poolConfigs."example.com" = 
       listen = /var/run/example.com-phpfpm.sock
       user = nginx
       group = nginx
       pm = dynamic
       pm.max_children = 32
       pm.max_requests = 500
       pm.start_servers = 2
       pm.min_spare_servers = 2
       pm.max_spare_servers = 5
       listen.owner = nginx
       listen.group = nginx
       php_admin_value[error_log] = 'stderr'
       php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
       env[PATH] = ${lib.makeBinPath [ pkgs.php ]}
       catch_workers_output = yes
     ;
    services.nginx = {
      enable = true;
      virtualHosts."example.com".locations."/" = {
          root = "/var/www/example.com";
          extraConfig = 
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/example.com-phpfpm.sock;
             include ${pkgs.nginx}/conf/fastcgi_params;

PHP Extensions

To use certain PHP extensions you will need to configure them in the php.ini-configuration of phpfpm: <syntaxHightlight lang=nix> {

 services.phpfpm.phpOptions = 
   extension=${pkgs.phpPackages.redis}/lib/php/extensions/redis.so
   extension=${pkgs.phpPackages.apcu}/lib/php/extensions/apcu.so
 ;

} </syntaxHightlight>
