nginx

Important

Solus is not a server operating system. Usage of server packages outside local testing is not recommended.

nginx is installed with a default configuration that you can customize as needed.

Installation

To install nginx, use the Software Center or execute the following command:

sudo eopkg install nginx

Usage

Configuration

Nginx’s configuration files are located in the /usr/share/defaults/nginx/ directory. To override the default configuration, you can create configuration files in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ or the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled folders.

Tip

To revert back to the original settings, delete the /etc/nginx/ folder.

Management

You can use the following commands to manage nginx:

  • Enable nginx on startup and start immediately after enabling: sudo systemctl enable --now nginx

  • Stop nginx: sudo systemctl stop nginx
