nginx

Sets up Nginx web server.

Use it on boxctl

  1. On the dashboard, pick nginx in the Template picker and click Boot box.
  2. The box boots, then runs nginx/install.sh on itself. The button reads Booting… until the script has finished.
  3. Open the box's Terminal and follow the guide below. The box's row keeps a link back to this page under the template's name.

The guide is shared with the onctl CLI, so it starts from an onctl up -a nginx/install.sh command. Booting a box with this template replaces that command; everything the guide runs on the VM itself applies as written.

Nginx installation

Bring up a VM with Nginx installed and enabled:

onctl up -n nginx -a nginx/install.sh

The script updates apt packages, installs Nginx, and ensures the service starts on boot.

See the template's source for exactly what it runs.
