If you have three layered development structures (local dev, remote staging, remote production) like me, you want to search engines index your staging server. It is easy to prevent search engines from indexing your <code>Nginx</code> web server.
<pre><code class="lang-nginx">add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";
</code></pre>
Add the line above in the server block <code>virtualhost</code> file and Google forget the way to go to your server.

A few years ago, I realized that I wanted to focus my efforts on being useful. For this reason, I'm trying to contribute more and more to open-source projects, helping people and creating useful content to be used by developers.
I have many ideas and plans going forward, and every sponsor will help with the time, the energy and, yes, the money needed to create all these.
