nginx config file line continuation?

  • 772

I've got an nginx config stanza that looks like:

server {
    listen *:80;
    server_name domain1.com domain2.com domain3.com domain4.com .... domainN.com;
    rewrite ^(.*) http://my_canonical_domain.com permanent;
}

with lots of different domains. Is there some way to break this up over multiple lines? I don't see anything in the nginx config docs which address this.

    There is no need to. This works perfectly:

    server_name domain1
    domain2
    domain3
    ...
    domainN;

    Also you could use multiple server_name directives.

  2. I'm not allowed to post a comment; otherwise I would have just added a comment to @Alexey Ten's answer in response to @roothan's comment. Regular expressions also work using this method (at least with nginx/1.16.1):

    server_name thisdomain.com
    ~^(www\.)thatdomain.com
    ~^(www\.)theotherdomain.com;

    I had some trouble being careless with copy/paste; just make sure you don't have any semicolons except after the very last name in the directive.
