worker_processes auto;
pid          /var/run/nginx.pid;
daemon off;

events {
  worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                    '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                    '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
    access_log off;
    tcp_nopush     on;
    keepalive_timeout  65;
    gzip  on;

    server {
