Nginx

Envloom uses Nginx as the local web server layer for site routing, vhosts, and HTTPS termination in local environments.

What Envloom handles

• Nginx service lifecycle
• Local vhost generation/sync
• HTTPS support with local certificates
• Routing .test local domains to the correct project/site

Typical Nginx-related tasks

• Add or update a local site
• Reload services from the systray after config changes
• Review Nginx logs when requests fail or return unexpected errors

When to reload

If you change site configuration (domain, root path, SSL, PHP version integration), a service reload may be required.

Use the systray quick action or the main UI controls to reload Nginx and related services.

Troubleshooting

• If https://your-site.test fails, verify SSL + local CA setup and hosts sync.
• If a .test domain resolves incorrectly, confirm the hosts file entry is present and up to date.
• If Nginx starts but the app fails, check PHP/runtime logs in addition to Nginx logs.
