Nginx | Notion

Run in Docker

sudo docker run --name my-nginx -p 8080:80 -v /some/content:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro -d nginx
sudo chmod -R 755 /some/content

Install Nginx on CentOS 8

1. Update the System:

First, update your system to ensure all packages are up to date.

sudo dnf update -y

2. Add the Nginx Repository

CentOS 8 doesn't include the latest Nginx packages in its default repositories. To get the latest version, add the official Nginx repository.

Create a repository file for Nginx:

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo

Add the following content to the file:

[nginx-stable]
name=nginx stable repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key

[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key

The nginx-stable repository is enabled by default, while the nginx-mainline repository is not. You can enable the nginx-mainline repository by setting enabled=1 if you prefer to use the mainline version of Nginx.

3. Install Nginx:

Install Nginx using the dnf package manager.

sudo dnf install nginx -y

4. Start and Enable Nginx:

Once the installation is complete, start the Nginx service and enable it to start on boot.
