        root /var/www/localhost/htdocs/pydio6;
        index index.php;
        listen 443 ssl; //add http2 for better results
        keepalive_requests    10;
        keepalive_timeout     60 60;
        access_log /var/log/nginx/access_pydio6_log;

        rewrite ^/dashboard|^/settings|^/welcome|^/ws- /index.php last;
        if ( !-e $request_filename ) {

        add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";

        # Only allow these request methods and do not accept DELETE, SEARCH and other methods
        if ( $request_method !~ ^(GET|HEAD|POST|PROPFIND|OPTIONS)$ ) {
                return 444;
        }

        location ~* ^/(?:\.|conf|data/(?:files|personal|logs|plugins|tmp|cache)|plugins/editor.zoho/agent/files) {
                deny all;
        }
        # Enables PHP
        location ~ \.php$ {
                # for ^/(index|plugins) request_uri should be changed
                set $request_url $request_uri;
                if ( $uri ~ ^/(index|plugins) ) {
                        set $request_url /;
                }

  1. Set up letsencrypt for SSL Encryption: https://aaronparecki.com/articles/2015/12/07/1/letsencrypt
  2. Access your Pydio and follow the instructions
  3. Not actually a fan of Pydio. Used it for a day. It's way too slow even with a MySQL database. Don't even try it with sqlite. Next stop, www.seafile.com!
