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 (this is no longer necessary as of Docker 20.03 but it's still required in other container runtimes).
  • 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 and pushed on a weekly basis (every Monday night) 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.

Check out the docs for the upstream Docker NGINX image for a detailed explanation of how to use this image.

Note: Issues related to security vulnerabilities will be promptly closed unless they are accompanied by a solid reasoning as to why the vulnerability poses a real security threat to this image. Check out the SECURITY doc for more details.
