Nginx: SPDY SSL Installation and Configuration On a Debian / Ubuntu Linux

Here are the steps to install and configure SPDY SSL on Nginx on a Debian or Ubuntu Linux system:

  1. Install Nginx:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
  1. Obtain an SSL certificate: You can either purchase an SSL certificate from a trusted certificate authority (CA) or generate a self-signed certificate.
  2. Install the SSL certificate on Nginx: Copy the certificate files to the Nginx server and configure Nginx to use them. Here is an example of an Nginx configuration that uses a certificate and key file:
server {
listen 443 ssl spdy;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /path/to/certificate.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/certificate.key;
...
}
  1. Restart Nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
  1. Test the SPDY SSL configuration: Use a tool such as OpenSSL or a browser extension to verify that the Nginx server is serving the SSL certificate and using the SPDY protocol.

Note: This is a basic example, and the actual configuration may vary depending on the requirements of your setup. Additionally, the steps may vary based on the version of Debian or Ubuntu you are using.
