# Configure Ngnix (optional, advanced)

By default, this playbook installs its own nginx webserver (in a Docker container) which listens on ports 80 and 443.
If that's alright, you can skip this.


## Using Ngnix status

This will serve a statuspage to the hosting machine only. Useful for monitoring software like [longview](https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview-app-for-nginx/)

```yaml
matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_enabled: true
```

This will serve the status page under ```https://matrix.DOMAIN/nginx_status``` 

By default, if ```matrix_nginx_proxy_nginx_status_enabled``` is enabled, access to the status page would be allowed from the local IP address of the server. If you wish to allow access from other IP addresses, you can provide them as a list:

```yaml
matrix_nginx_proxy_proxy_matrix_nginx_status_allowed_addresses:
- 8.8.8.8
- 1.1.1.1
```
