Add user nginx to www group;
# usermod -a -G www nginx
Change default home directory of nginx user;
# usermod -m -d /srv/www nginx
Create configuration directory's for better organization;
$ sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/conf.d
$ sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/sites-enable
$ sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/sites
Certificates allow a more secure connection. Lets create self-signed certificate;
Create private key;
$ sudo openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key 2048
Password:

Create ceritificate signing request. For "Common Name" provide domain name or ip address, leave challange password and optional company name blank;
$ sudo openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key -out /etc/ssl/certs/nginx.csr
Enter pass phrase for /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key:
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Having password is a good idea, but requires it every time nginx is restarted. To remove;
$ sudo cp /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key.pass
$ sudo openssl rsa -in /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key.pass -out /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key
Enter pass phrase for /etc/ssl/keys/nginx.key.pass:

Number of worker_processes must be equal or less than the number of available cpu cores. This is set to auto.
$ nproc

Number of worker_connections must be equal or less than the number file-size writing limit, you can get it by;
$ nlimit -n
1024
