(Make sure you run the latest version of nginx.conf if you haven't updated since 5/25/2018.)

cd ~/ts_environment
./scripts/nginx.sh

Get ngrok hosting a local site

To serve up ~/Sites/[your-site-name] from [your-ngrok-id].ngrok.io

1. Edit /etc/hosts with sudo, and add this line: 127.0.0.1 [your-ngrok-id].ngrok.io
2. Start ngrok with ngrok http 80 --subdomain [your-ngrok-id]
3. Replace [your-username], [your-ngrok-id], and [your-site-name] in the template below. (For sites with a different web root, you will need to set the rootpath like [your-site-name]/web)
4. Put the file at /usr/local/etc/nginx/servers/[your-site-name].conf
5. brew services restart nginx

[your-site-name].conf template
