So far I've only ever developed for Apache servers but that streak is about to end and I'm having to dive into nginx. However, none of the so-called base nginx conf files seem to work for me and there's a lot of things that seem superfluous or specific to a workflow or prescribed manner of doing things. This is fine, with more experience, but when I install Craft CMS for the first time there is an .htaccess file that comes with the install that is enough to get up and running in MAMO Pro without any problems. What would the nginx conf file equivalent to this be? Once I get up and running I can worry about improving or adding things as needed but for now I just need to get basic installation up and running in MAMP Pro. Thanks.

UPDATE: I started researching nginx a little more and I think I'm beginning to understand more about how it works but at a very rudimentary level. I got Craft installed but only the home page works. Subpage links don't work and I can't access the admin site. The link is site.dev:81 (since it's nginx it's running on port 81) and the home page loads fine but clicking on a link sends the browser to site.dev/page.php.

Here's the nginx.conf file MAMP Pro creates. I see little difference between the file @khalwat links to and the one MAMP creates other then the MAMP file being more verbose. Is there anything in this conf file that would create problems for Craft and cause the url to behave in the manner described?

So there is Nginx-Craft which might actually be one of the configs you found, and decided there is too much superfluous stuff going on with it.

The reason I never added a basic configuration for Nginx-Craft is the local dev environment I use (Homestead) creates these configurations for you, so I've never seen the need.

In any event, I added a basic configuration to the repo for you:

https://github.com/nystudio107/nginx-craft/blob/master/sites-available/basic_localdev.com.conf

Make sure you change the fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock; to reflect a path to whatever version of PHP you're running locally.
