Deployment
----------

#### 1. Using fastcgi

A suggested deployment is running nginx in front of linx-server serving through fastcgi.
This allows you to have nginx handle the TLS termination for example.  
An example configuration:
```
server {
    ...
    server_name yourlinx.example.org;
    ...
    
    client_max_body_size 4096M;
    location / {
        proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}
```
And run linx-server with the ```-fastcgi``` option.

#### 2. Using the built-in https server
Run linx-server with the ```-certfile path/to/cert.file``` and ```-keyfile path/to/key.file``` options.

#### 3. Using the built-in http server
Run linx-server normally.
