# Nginx Configuration Example for GNX Web Application
# This configuration shows how to set up nginx as a reverse proxy
# to secure the Django API backend

# Generate a secure API key for INTERNAL_API_KEY:
# python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
# Add this key to your Django .env file as INTERNAL_API_KEY
