I have installed OBS on my PC at work and would like to set it up so that I can stream LIVE across our LAN for training purposes. Under Settings => Stream, I have selected "Custom" and for the Server, I have entered the name of my PC. I have no idea what a "Stream Key" might be or if I'm even going down the right path to accomplish the task I wish to perform. First, is it possible to setup OBS in the manner, and second, how should OBS be configured to accomplish this task? Thanks in advance!

OBS is a streaming client. Client means that it will send its video stream to a streaming server. The streaming server distributes the received stream to all the connected viewers.
A streaming server is not part of OBS. If you want to make your own within your LAN, you need to install your own streaming server. You found nginx, and yes, this is a web server that has a module that can act as streaming server.
