Nginx is a high-performance, open-source web server widely used for serving websites, reverse proxying, load balancing, and caching. If install nginx on ubuntu 24.04, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
A system running Ubuntu 24.04
A user account with sudo privileges
An active internet connection
Step 1: Update System Packages
It is always recommended to update the package list before installing new software. Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command ensures that all installed packages are up to date.
Step 2: Install Nginx
Once the system is updated, install Nginx using the following command:
sudo apt install nginx -y
The -y flag automatically confirms the installation.
Step 3: Start and Enable Nginx
After installation, start the Nginx service and enable it to run on system boot:
sudo systemctl start nginx
sudo systemctl enable nginx
To verify that Nginx is running, use:
sudo systemctl status nginx
If Nginx is running correctly, you should see an output indicating that the service is active.
Step 4: Adjust Firewall Settings
If the firewall is enabled, allow Nginx traffic by running:
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
Check the firewall rules to ensure the change was applied:
sudo ufw status
Step 5: Verify Nginx Installation
To confirm that Nginx is installed and running, open a web browser and enter your server’s IP address:
http://your_server_ip
You should see the default Nginx welcome page.
Step 6: Manage Nginx Service
Here are some useful commands for managing Nginx:
Restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Stop Nginx
sudo systemctl stop nginx
Reload configuration (without restarting):
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Step 7: Configure Nginx
Nginx stores configuration files in /etc/nginx/. The main configuration file is:
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
To add new website configurations, create a server block in:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/
Conclusion
You have successfully installed and configured Nginx on Ubuntu 24.04. Nginx is now up and running, ready to serve your applications. You can further optimize your setup by configuring SSL/TLS, setting up reverse proxying, or fine-tuning performance settings. Happy hosting!
