How do I set up OAuth2 with Nginx?

To set up OAuth2 with Nginx, you'll need to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy and use an OAuth2 provider.

What are the steps to configure the reverse proxy?

First, install Nginx, then create a configuration file for your site, and set up the proxy_pass directive.

Do I need to install any additional modules?

Yes, you may need to install the 'ngx_http_auth_request_module' for handling authentication requests.

Can you provide an example configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

server {
    listen 80;
    location / {
        auth_request /auth;
        proxy_pass http://your_backend;
    }
    location = /auth {
        internal;
        proxy_pass http://your_oauth2_provider;
    }
}
