A suggested deployment is running nginx in front of linx-server serving through fastcgi.  
An example configuration:
```
server {
    ...
    server_name yourlinx.example.org;
    ...
    
    client_max_body_size 4096M;
    location / {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8080;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}
```
