NGINX reverse proxy setup with Invidious companion

This is a very basic config, secured with Let's Encrypt. Any log is disabled by default. Do not forget to replace server_name with your domain.

server {
	listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;
	listen 443 ssl;
	listen [::]:443 ssl;
        http2 on;

	access_log off;
	error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log crit;

	ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/invidious.domain.tld/fullchain.pem;
