How to setup Alfresco with Nginx as the frontend web server


Here are the steps to install Alfresco with Nginx as the frontend web server.

The aim here is to block access to port 8080 and 8443 from public internet yet retain the original
Alfresco configuration.

So here it is:
1] Install Nginx

sudo apt-get install nginx

2] Download Alfresco
sudo wget http://dl.alfresco.com/release/community/build-4003/alfresco-community-4.0.d-installer-
linux-x64.bin
3] Make it executable

sudo chmod x alfresco-community-4.0.d-installer-linux-x64.bin


4] Install Alfresco
sudo ./alfresco-community-4.0.d-installer-linux-x64.bin

5] Setup Domain Name on Nginx


sudo cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
6] Create the Site file

sudo vi alfresco.ezref.info
7] Add the following to the site file

server {
listen 80;
server_name alfresco.ezref.info;

rewrite ^/$ /share;


location / {
root /opt/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/webapps/share/;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header host $host;

}
}

8] create symbolic link


sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/alfresco.ezref.info /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/alfresco.ezref.info
9] Restart Nginx
sudo service nginx restart
10] Setup SSL certificate
sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out alfresco.ezref.info.key 1024

sudo openssl req -new -key alfresco.ezref.info.key -out alfresco.ezref.info.csr


sudo openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in alfresco.ezref.info.csr -signkey alfresco.ezref.info.key -out
alfresco.ezref.info.crt

11] Copy the certificates to the default certificates folder


sudo cp alfresco.ezref.info.crt /etc/ssl/certs/

sudo cp alfresco.ezref.info.key /etc/ssl/private/


12} Enable SSL on Nginx webserver.

On the /etc/nginx/site-available/<sitename>, Add the following lines within the Server tag which
listens on port 443.

server {
listen 443;

server_name alfresco.ezref.info;
ssl on;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/alfresco.ezref.info.crt;

ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/alfresco.ezref.info.key;
rewrite ^/$ /share;

location / {
root /opt/alfresco-4.0.d/tomcat/webapps/share/;

proxy_pass https://localhost:8443;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
