Extend and override nginx config for Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2

Documentation on how to override or extend the default nginx config on Elastic Beanstalk running om Amazon Linux 2. Correct as of 2021-08-01. Also see the general documentation on how to extend linux servers.

All references to placing files refer to putting a file at this location in your application bundle. You should never modify a file directly at your Elastic Beanstalk server by ssh:ing to the server, since such a change will be wiped whenever your servers autoscale or if you rebuild your application completely.

Adding a new location block

The easiest extension is to add a new location block to the main server block. This can be done by placing a .conf file with a server block in the folder .platform/nginx/conf.d/elasticbeanstalk. Any such file is automatically included in the main server block.

Overriding the default location

How to add more to Git Bash on Windows

Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.

The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ is your / directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git, the mingw64 in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W). If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin, etc, lib and so on).

If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so
