+# nginx caching
+
+- [[2021-08-14]]
+  - added this to nginx.conf in http scope:
+
+```
+  uwsgi_cache_valid any 30s;
+  uwsgi_cache_path /tmp/agora-cache keys_zone=agora-cache:1000m;
+```
+
+- [[2021-08-14]]
+  - and this is what the [[agora]]'s `location` looks like in the virtual host:
+
+```
+  location / {
+      uwsgi_cache agora-cache;
+      uwsgi_cache_key $scheme$host$request_uri;
+      include uwsgi_params;
+      # /home/agora/agora-server/run-prod.sh to run.
+      uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/agora-uwsgi.sock;
+  }
+```
