Context

install.sh now supports a no-Docker path that runs the FastAPI API directly with uvicorn and serves web/dist/ via python3 -m http.server. That works for testing but is not suitable for production (no TLS, single-threaded HTTP server, no proper proxy).

Needed

A sample nginx config for self-hosters running without Docker:

server {
    listen 80;
    root /path/to/snipe/web/dist;
    index index.html;

    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8510;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

Document in README and as docs/nginx-selfhost.conf.

Raised from

Self-hosted install testing (Strahl, no-Docker path).
