What to notice while you play.

Objective

Practice the read-search-validate flow.

Hint

Read the site config, search for location /api/, then run nginx -t.

Why it matters

Validation catches broken config before it takes a service down.

Common mistakes
  • Reloading before testing.
  • Skipping security-sensitive locations.
