Issue
I want to use http_realip_module in nginx and Cloudflare. nginx -V returns
built with OpenSSL 1.1.0d 26 Jan 2017 (running with OpenSSL 1.1.0e 16 Feb 2017)

As you can see there is --with-http_realip_module.
/etc/nginx/modules-available is empty, /etc/nignx/modules-enabled returns

I have configuration from Cloudflare right there, but I don't know where to put it. Do I have to create config? Where, how should I name it?
Solution
You have to paste it inside /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload using sudo service nginx reload.
Remember to test config first using nginx -t.
