THIS IS A TEST REPO AND DOCKER HUB REPO! NOT USEFUL OR ANYTHING!:
The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring :-
- regular and timely application updates
- easy user mappings (PGID, PUID)
- custom base image with s6 overlay
- weekly base OS updates with common layers across the entire LinuxServer.io ecosystem to minimise space usage, down time and bandwidth
- regular security updates

linuxserver/nginx
Nginx is a simple webserver with php support. The config files reside in /config for easy user customization.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/nginx should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
|---|---|
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.
docker
docker create \
--name=nginx \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
-v </path/to/appdata/config>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/nginx
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
---
version: "2"
services:
nginx:
image: linuxserver/nginx
container_name: nginx
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- </path/to/appdata/config>:/config
ports:
- 80:80
- 443:443
restart: unless-stopped
Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 80 |
http |
-p 443 |
https |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |
-v /config |
Contains your www content and all relevant configuration files. |
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
Add your web files to /config/www for hosting.
Modify the nginx, php and site config files under /config as needed
Protip: This container is best combined with a sql server, e.g. mariadb
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it nginx /bin/bash - To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f nginx - container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' nginx
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/nginx
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Run/Create
- Update the image:
docker pull linuxserver/nginx - Stop the running container:
docker stop nginx - Delete the container:
docker rm nginx - Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/configfolder and settings will be preserved) - Start the new container:
docker start nginx - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Compose
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull nginx
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d nginx
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (especially useful if you don't remember the original parameters)
- Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once nginx - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-nginx.git
cd docker-nginx
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t linuxserver/nginx:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
