I have a private website for personal use only. I have no interest in anyone else accessing my webserver and want nginx to return absolutely nothing on all invalid uri.
How do I purposefully prevent 404 error (or any other errors) from being emitted for invalid uri?
Use try_files with a 'custom' fallback.
Send a 200 status on fallback if the requested file does not exists;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =200;
}
try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.html =404;
The last parameter can also be a status code (directly preceded by the equals sign) or the name of a location. In the following example, a 404 error is returned if none of the parameters to the try_files directive resolve to an existing file or directory.
