-Listen 5000

-
-Add these lines to `/etc/hosts`:
+and the id.kb.se app running on port 3000, but they won't work yet.
 
+Next, add these lines to `/etc/hosts`
 ```
+# These might be unnecessary (but harmless) in some environments
 127.0.0.1 libris.kb.se.localhost
 127.0.0.1 id.kb.se.localhost

-Make sure some necessary Apache modules are enabled:
-
+Finally, in devops again (with the fab virtual environment activated),
+run the following:
 ```
-a2enmod rewrite proxy proxy_http
+fab xl_local app.lxlviewer.configure_nginx app.idkbse.configure_nginx
 ```
 
-Now (re)start Apache:
-
-```
-systemctl restart apache2
-```
+This will place some nginx configuration files in `/etc/nginx/conf.d` and (re)start nginx.
 
-You should now be able to visit http://id.kb.se.localhost:5000, and use the cataloging client
-on http://libris.kb.se.localhost:5000/katalogisering/. The XL API itself is available on
-http://libris.kb.se.localhost:5000 (proxied via Apache), or directly on http://localhost:8180.
