# Deploy with Nginx Host BentoPDF on your own server using Nginx. ## Prerequisites - Ubuntu/Debian server - Nginx installed - SSL certificate (recommended: Let's Encrypt) ## Step 1: Build the Project ```bash git clone https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf.git cd bentopdf npm install npm run build ``` To customize branding, set environment variables before building: ```bash VITE_BRAND_NAME="AcmePDF" VITE_BRAND_LOGO="images/acme-logo.svg" npm run build ``` ## Step 2: Copy Files ```bash sudo mkdir -p /var/www/bentopdf sudo cp -r dist/* /var/www/bentopdf/ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/bentopdf ``` ## Step 3: Nginx Configuration Create `/etc/nginx/sites-available/bentopdf`: ```nginx server { listen 80; server_name your-domain.com; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name your-domain.com; # SSL Configuration ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem; root /var/www/bentopdf; index index.html; # Gzip compression gzip on; gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/wasm; gzip_min_length 1000; # WASM MIME type types { application/wasm wasm; } # Required headers for SharedArrayBuffer (LibreOffice WASM) # These must be on every response - especially HTML pages add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy "cross-origin" always; # Security headers add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always; add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always; add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always; # Pre-compressed LibreOffice WASM binary location ~* /libreoffice-wasm/soffice\.wasm\.gz$ { gzip off; types {} default_type application/wasm; add_header Content-Encoding gzip; add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable"; add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always; } # Pre-compressed LibreOffice WASM data location ~* /libreoffice-wasm/soffice\.data\.gz$ { gzip off; types {} default_type application/octet-stream; add_header Content-Encoding gzip; add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable"; add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always; } # Cache static assets location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2|wasm)$ { expires 1y; add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable"; add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always; } # SPA routing - serve index.html for all routes location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; add_header Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy "require-corp" always; add_header Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy "same-origin" always; } } ``` ## Step 4: Enable the Site ```bash sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/bentopdf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ sudo nginx -t sudo systemctl reload nginx ``` ## Step 5: SSL with Let's Encrypt ```bash sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.com ``` ## Subdirectory Deployment To host at `/pdf/`: ```nginx location /pdf/ { alias /var/www/bentopdf/; try_files $uri $uri/ /pdf/index.html; } ``` Build with: ```bash BASE_URL=/pdf/ npm run build ``` ## Performance Tuning Add to `nginx.conf`: ```nginx http { # Enable sendfile sendfile on; tcp_nopush on; tcp_nodelay on; # Increase buffer sizes client_max_body_size 100M; # Worker connections worker_connections 2048; } ``` ## Troubleshooting ### WASM Not Loading Ensure MIME type is set: ```nginx types { application/wasm wasm; } ``` ### Word/ODT/Excel to PDF Not Working LibreOffice WASM requires `SharedArrayBuffer`, which needs `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy` and `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` headers. Note that nginx `add_header` directives in a `location` block **override** server-level `add_header` directives — they don't merge. Every `location` block with its own `add_header` must include the COEP/COOP headers. Verify with: ```bash curl -I https://your-domain.com/ | grep -i cross-origin ``` If using a reverse proxy in front of nginx, ensure it preserves these headers. ### 502 Bad Gateway Check Nginx error logs: ```bash sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log ```
