NGINX Unprivileged Docker Image

This Dockerfile creates an NGINX Docker image that runs NGINX as a non root, unprivileged user. Notable differences with respect to the official NGINX Docker image include:

  • The default NGINX listen port is now 8080 instead of 80.
  • The default NGINX user directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf has been removed.
  • The default NGINX PID has been moved from /var/run/nginx.pid to /tmp/nginx.pid.
  • Change *_temp_path variables to /tmp/*.

Docker Hub images are built for the amd64, arm32v5 (for Debian), arm32v6 (for Alpine), arm32v7, arm64v8, i386, mips64le (for Debian), ppc64le and s390x architectures and can be found at https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged.

Warning: The latest mainline release, 1.21.1, does not have an Alpine i386 arch image due to an upstream mercurial bug.
