Nginx autoinstall script for CentOS

A light rewriting in order to be supported on CentOS.

Entirely based on Angristan's work : https://github.com/angristan/nginx-autoinstall

It's quick, possibly dirty.

Tested and validated on CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ab-a/nginx-autoinstall-centos/master/nginx-autoinstall.sh
chmod +x nginx-autoinstall.sh
./nginx-autoinstall.sh

Install Nginx

Just download and execute the script :

chmod +x nginx-autoinstall.sh
./nginx-autoinstall.sh

You can check configuration examples for the custom modules.

Uninstall Nginx

Just select the option when running the script :

You have the choice to delete the logs and the conf.

Update Nginx

To update Nginx, run the script and install Nginx again. It will overwrite current Nginx files and/or modules.

Update the script

The update feature downloads the script from this repository, and overwrites the current nginx-autoinstall.sh file in the working directory. This allows you to get the latest features, bug fixes, and module versions automatically.

Headless use

You can run the script without the prompts with the option HEADLESS set to y.

HEADLESS=y ./nginx-autoinstall.sh

To install Nginx mainline with Brotli:

HEADLESS=y \
NGINX_VER=2 \
BROTLI=y \
./nginx-autoinstall.sh

To uninstall Nginx and remove the logs and configuration files:

HEADLESS=y \
OPTION=2 \
RM_CONF=y \
RM_LOGS=y \
./nginx-autoinstall.sh

All the default variables are set at the beginning of the script.

Log file

A log file is created when running the script. It is located at /tmp/nginx-autoinstall.log.
