On the official page, it is said that to host ansible tower behind nginx, you need to provide headers in the `/etc/tower/conf.d/remote_host_headers.py` file.

But, in my `/etc/tower/` folder, there is no `conf.d/remote_host_headers.py` file.

awx@server:/etc/tower$ tree

How can I host ansible tower via nginx ?

An uneducated guess: did you try to create the missing file?
