I have tried (and have had people here try) to setup nginx but it never works and it just leads to sobbing.
This is something you can hire out really easily. People like @JaredBusch do this for people all of the time. It's the kind of thing you can just pay someone to do once and it's done for you. Having a reverse proxy up and running is quick for someone who knows the system and then you have a system that really maintains itself, just set it for automatic updates.
No one is claiming that Nginx is easy. Just have someone take care of this one little piece for you.

To ask has anyone here wrote a guide on how to setup nginx and SC from the ground up?
I think the biggest problem is the lack of concise documentation for nginx. So why not have someone who's familiar with the process write a how-to?

I think Jared has, but both pieces are definitely documented in the community. What's been followed or tried hasn't been mentioned. That makes it really hard because there doesn't seem to be any questions asked until frustration set it and the documented process was abandoned. So by the time the community tried to help, it was already too late.

There you go.

@Scott I went through all of your questions historically and never once have you asked for help with Nginx in this context, or any other. I'm confused as to how we got to the point of abandoning the stock approach to start down a path that was guaranteed to lead to despair, when you didn't even ask for casual community assistance. Had you asked, any number of us could have just posted our "just works" configuration files; which we just did.
I'm not trying to be overly harsh, but it feels like you sabotaged this process from the beginning. You didn't ask the community for guidance on the best approach to take, nor ask how those of us have it working got it working, you didn't ask for help on how to make that process work, and only asked for help once you had decided you wouldn't accept help and "demanded" that only approaches that are extra hard and/or impossible would be considered. You also claimed that getting this working on Windows was easier than Linux, which can only be stated if you at least got it fully working on Windows, but you implied that you could not get it working at all.
So this feels like you posted to disparage the Linux and/or Nginx approaches, but didn't even really try with any earnest. Not even the most casual first step of asking how others had done it. If you were really trying to make this work, why didn't you ask for advice and help? This would have been a really easy thing to have helped with, had you wanted us to find a solution for you. And you glommed really quickly onto the discussion on Linux or Windows, which was unrelated to your issue and affected you not at all, as if it was core to your problem and some kind of frustration - which makes it doubly feel like you were setting us up to look unhelpful, when you never really gave us the slightest option to be of assistance.
