Hello, Admins and coleeagues! 

I tried to find any step-by-step instruction with info how to setup Munki using not local repo but server repo. Please could you guide me to the according link? I will be highly appreciate to follow the installation process of server on NGINX or APACHE as the most usual. I'm new one in Munki and it works very well in my local experiment going through demonstration local setup https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/Demonstration-Setup . But right now I have plenty of troubles with server configurations. Thank you in advance for any detailed guide

A lot of this depends on what server platforms you have available or have familiarity with.  

Here is one guide for Ubuntu : https://clburlison.com/munkirepo-guide-part-1/  Any tutorial like this is bound to be dated, so you'll likely need to adjust for a current version of Ubuntu.  It should however give you a good start.

There isn't really an installation process for the server. It's just copying the files to the web server or having some kind of CI/CD that takes a GitHub repo and copies the files over to the web server.

The main thing is that your clients have to have the SoftwareRepoURL set to talk to your web server.

Well, thank you guys for answers. 
I have several macboks as clients. My own mac could be admin station with web admin panel to manage the server.
And at last I could run NGINX or APACHE web server on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS. 
For example I run APACHE, but I dont exactly know how to config it so clients could connect the repo. 

Thank you for https://clburlison.com/munkirepo-guide-part-1/ guide. It's really useful. It looks like not trivial and contains  much software to install with Munki. I' ll try it and return with results. Idea is to create some user guide so I will just write each my step and will show you the final document

It seems to me that every admin here had configuraion with remote repo server, so it will be very useful to look on server's config (for future Munki admins)
