Continuing my series on hardening Angular applications, Part 2 moves from browser security concepts into the server layer.
In this part, I focus on the Nginx configuration used to serve an Angular application and build the foundation required before introducing Content Security Policy (CSP).
Some of the topics covered:
- ⚙️ Nginx configuration basics
- 📦 Serving Angular static assets
- 🗜️ Gzip compression
- 💾 Static asset caching
- 🔀 Angular SPA routing
- 🚫 Restricting access to sensitive files
- ⚠️ Error page handling
- 🔧 Preparing the Nginx layer for CSP
The goal is to understand why each configuration exists rather than simply copying an Nginx configuration from somewhere else.
This part establishes the Nginx foundation. In the next part, I'll move into the actual Angular server configuration and CSP implementation, including how the policy is built around the application's resource requirements.
