This is a working configuration file for Nginx to allow you to reverse proxy into your Plex Media Server. It has been spliced together from various sources.

Replace <subdomain.domain.name> with your reverse proxy FQDN and <local IP address or hostname> with your internal IP address of your Plex Media Server.
