Select server

You can select a specific web server by using the BP_WEB_SERVER variable.

The available values are:

• nginx for Nginx
• httpd for Apache2

Here is an example to set it to Nginx with the Runway CLI or a project.toml file in the root of your repository:

runway app config set BP_WEB_SERVER=nginx

[build]
  [[build.env]]
    name = "BP_WEB_SERVER"
    value = "nginx"

Careful

By setting the BP_WEB_SERVER variable, the buildpacks in Runway’s build pipeline will generate the complete configuration file for you.

If you wish to provide the complete configuration yourself, then put an nginx.conf or a httpd.conf file in the your repository and remove BP_WEB_SERVER. Runway will select the appropriate web server and use your configuration!
