-Running behind a reverse proxy
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Sanic can be used with a reverse proxy (e.g. nginx). There's a simple example of nginx configuration:
-
-
-::
-
-    server {
-      listen 80;
-      server_name example.org;
-      location / {
-        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
-        proxy_set_header Host $host;
-        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
-      }
-    }
-
-
-If you want to get real client ip, you should configure `X-Real-IP` and `X-Forwarded-For` HTTP headers and set `app.config.PROXIES_COUNT` to `1`; see the configuration page for more information.

+
+Nginx Deployment
+================
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Although Sanic can be run directly on Internet, it may be useful to use a proxy
+server such as Nginx in front of it. This is particularly useful for running
+multiple virtual hosts on the same IP, serving NodeJS or other services beside
+a single Sanic app, and it also allows for efficient serving of static files.
+SSL and HTTP/2 are also easily implemented on such proxy.
+
+We are setting the Sanic app to serve only locally at `127.0.0.1:8000`, while the
+Nginx installation is responsible for providing the service to public Internet
+on domain `example.com`. Static files will be served from `/var/www/`.
+
+
+Proxied Sanic app
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The app needs to be setup with a secret key used to identify a trusted proxy,
+so that real client IP and other information can be identified. This protects
+against anyone on the Internet sending fake headers to spoof their IP addresses
+and other details. Choose any random string and configure it both on the app
+and in Nginx config.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from sanic import Sanic
+    from sanic.response import text
+
+    app = Sanic("Sanic Example")
+    app.config.FORWARDED_SECRET = "YOUR SECRET"
+
+    @app.get("/")
+    def index(request):
+        # This should display external (public) addresses:
+        return text(
+            f"{request.remote_addr} connected to {request.url_for('index')}\n"
+            f"Forwarded: {request.forwarded}\n"
+        )
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+        app.run(host='127.0.0.1', port=8000, workers=8, access_log=False)
+
+Since this is going to be a system service, save your code to
+`/srv/sanicexample/sanicexample.py`.
+
+For testing, run your app in a terminal.
+
+
+Nginx configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Quite much configuration is required to allow fast transparent proxying, but
+for the most part these don't need to be modified, so bear with me.
+
+Upstream servers need to be configured in a separate `upstream` block to enable
+HTTP keep-alive, which can drastically improve performance, so we use this
+instead of directly providing an upstream address in `proxy_pass` directive. In
+this example, the upstream section is named by `server_name`, i.e. the public
+domain name, which then also gets passed to Sanic in the `Host` header. You may
+change the naming as you see fit. Multiple servers may also be provided for
+load balancing and failover.
+
+Change the two occurrences of `example.com` to your true domain name, and
+instead of `YOUR SECRET` use the secret you chose for your app.
+
+::
+
+    upstream example.com {
+      keepalive 100;
+      server 127.0.0.1:8000;
+      #server unix:/tmp/sanic.sock;
+    }
+
+    server {
+      server_name example.com;
+      listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
+      listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
+      # Serve static files if found, otherwise proxy to Sanic
+      location / {
+        root /var/www;
+        try_files $uri @sanic;
+      }
+      location @sanic {
+        proxy_pass http://$server_name;
+        # Allow fast streaming HTTP/1.1 pipes (keep-alive, unbuffered)
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        proxy_request_buffering off;
+        proxy_buffering off;
+        # Proxy forwarding (password configured in app.config.FORWARDED_SECRET)
+        proxy_set_header forwarded "$proxy_forwarded;secret=\"YOUR SECRET\"";
+        # Allow websockets
+        proxy_set_header connection "upgrade";
+        proxy_set_header upgrade $http_upgrade;
+      }
+    }
+
+To avoid cookie visibility issues and inconsistent addresses on search engines,
+it is a good idea to redirect all visitors to one true domain, always using
+HTTPS:
+
+::
+
+    # Redirect all HTTP to HTTPS with no-WWW
+    server {
+      listen 80 default_server;
+      listen [::]:80 default_server;
+      server_name ~^(?:www\.)?(.*)$;
+      return 301 https://$1$request_uri;
+    }
+
+    # Redirect WWW to no-WWW
+    server {
+      listen 443 ssl http2;
+      listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
+      server_name ~^www\.(.*)$;
+      return 301 $scheme://$1$request_uri;
+    }
+
+The above config sections may be placed in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`
+or in other site configs (be sure to symlink them to `sites-enabled` if you
+create new ones).
+
+Make sure that your SSL certificates are configured in the main config, or
+add the `ssl_certificate` and `ssl_certificate_key` directives to each
+`server` section that listens on SSL.
+
+Additionally, copy&paste all of this into `nginx/conf.d/forwarded.conf`:
+
+::
+
+    # RFC 7239 Forwarded header for Nginx proxy_pass
+
+    # Add within your server or location block:
+    #    proxy_set_header forwarded "$proxy_forwarded;secret=\"YOUR SECRET\"";
+
+    # Configure your upstream web server to identify this proxy by that password
+    # because otherwise anyone on the Internet could spoof these headers and fake
+    # their real IP address and other information to your service.
+
+
+    # Provide the full proxy chain in $proxy_forwarded
+    map $proxy_add_forwarded $proxy_forwarded {
+      default "$proxy_add_forwarded;by=\"_$hostname\";proto=$scheme;host=\"$http_host\";path=\"$request_uri\"";
+    }
+
+    # The following mappings are based on
+    # https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/forwarded/
+
+    map $remote_addr $proxy_forwarded_elem {
+      # IPv4 addresses can be sent as-is
+      ~^[0-9.]+$          "for=$remote_addr";
+
+      # IPv6 addresses need to be bracketed and quoted
+      ~^[0-9A-Fa-f:.]+$   "for=\"[$remote_addr]\"";
+
+      # Unix domain socket names cannot be represented in RFC 7239 syntax
+      default             "for=unknown";
+    }
+
+    map $http_forwarded $proxy_add_forwarded {
+      # If the incoming Forwarded header is syntactically valid, append to it
+      "~^(,[ \\t]*)*([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+=([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+|\"([\\t \\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF]|\\\\[\\t \\x21-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF])*\"))?(;([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+=([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+|\"([\\t \\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF]|\\\\[\\t \\x21-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF])*\"))?)*([ \\t]*,([ \\t]*([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+=([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+|\"([\\t \\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF]|\\\\[\\t \\x21-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF])*\"))?(;([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+=([!#$%&'*+.^_`|~0-9A-Za-z-]+|\"([\\t \\x21\\x23-\\x5B\\x5D-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF]|\\\\[\\t \\x21-\\x7E\\x80-\\xFF])*\"))?)*)?)*$" "$http_forwarded, $proxy_forwarded_elem";
+
+      # Otherwise, replace it
+      default "$proxy_forwarded_elem";
+    }
+
+For installs that don't use `conf.d` and `sites-available`, all of the above
+configs may also be placed inside the `http` section of the main `nginx.conf`.
+
+Reload Nginx config after changes:
+
+::
+
+    sudo nginx -s reload
+
+Now you should be able to connect your app on `https://example.com/`. Any 404
+errors and such will be handled by Sanic's error pages, and whenever a static
+file is present at a given path, it will be served by Nginx.
+
+
+SSL certificates
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you haven't already configured valid certificates on your server, now is a
+good time to do so. Install `certbot` and `python3-certbot-nginx`, then run
+
+::
+
+    certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com
+
+`<https://www.nginx.com/blog/using-free-ssltls-certificates-from-lets-encrypt-with-nginx/>`_
+
+Running as a service
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This part is for Linux distributions based on `systemd`. Create a unit file
+`/etc/systemd/system/sanicexample.service`::
+
+    [Unit]
+    Description=Sanic Example
+
+    [Service]
+    User=nobody
+    WorkingDirectory=/srv/sanicexample
+    ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python3 sanicexample.py
+    Restart=always
+
+    [Install]
+    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+Then reload service files, start your service and enable it on boot::
+
+    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+    sudo systemctl start sanicexample
+    sudo systemctl enable sanicexample
