I had to do following modifications, following the Nginx doc (Docs/Nginx.md).

Modify example.com.conf

    # Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distribution.
    # include fastcgi.conf;

    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

certbot package for nginx

apt install python3-certbot-nginx

For php-fpm to work, gave me 502 Gateway error otherwise

SCRATCH THIS, CHECK BELOW! EDIT SECTION

sudo mkdir /var/run/php-fpm/

nano /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Add this

listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock

Restart the service, change version number if yours differs

systemctl restart php8.2-fpm

I also did NOT set up the Nginx config for 4get in /etc/nginx/conf.d. I don't see why I would.
On Debian, it is /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com.conf. For example: search.todiloo.com.conf. Doesn't really matter what you call it. Goes after server_name anyway inside the conf. Just make sure the file ends with .conf.

You can do the ln -s between sites-available and sites-enabled but I skip that stupid step.

EDIT

For php-fpm to work

The PHP-FPM stuff does not survive a reboot on my VPS. I should also add that I run an iRedMail server on it. Don't know how that affects anything. Makes it harder to deal with PHP-FPM for sure. Since there is already something configured for it.

New version:

No making directories!

nano /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

Add this

listen = /run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock

Also, update Nginx

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/<4get.conf>

fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;

Instead of /var/run/ directory, just using /run/ makes it survive a reboot. Don't ask me why.
I should also add that I added a PHP-FPM pool

/etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/4get_pool.conf

/etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/www.conf already had something and I think it was conflicting. I copied what was in there to 4get_pool.conf and removed the "listen = 127.0.0.1...." stuff. I also want to keep iRedMail and 4get separate, in case either one updates. I don't want both to fail.

Including copying this:

pm.status_path = /status

Log was showing errors otherwise. Could not get status ... Json...something.

systemctl restart nginx

Restart the FPM service, change version number if yours differs

systemctl restart php8.2-fpm

I spent a couple of hours on this, in the process editing the wrong nginx virtualhost file, in sites-available instead of sites-enabled...that was fun...

It's funny cause when I followed the guide for nginx I was getting similar errors but only 1/3 of the time on debian. Don't know what caused it, I'll look into it when im not burnt out.

Thanks bro
