title: Creating a shared directory with nginx file server
body: <p>I have dozen of log files from my server. I wanted to share them over web server, keeping it as simple as possible. I set up authentication for nginx web server, and tried to create symlinks to log files my Python script is storing in dedicated folder in my <code>home</code> directory. First i tried to set this directory as nginx root, but i learned that it's a bad idea, so i decided to create symlinks in default nginx root directory, but it didn't work either.</p>
  
  <p>I thought that maybe synchronizing files across both folders may work, but that honestly seems like a huge overkill for such a simple task.</p>
  
  <p>How else should i approach this?</p>
