Nginx is a high-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy server, and an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. It is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.
Here's how to install and configure Nginx on an Ubuntu system.
Step 1: launch an instance.
Step 2: connect to instance.
Step 3: First, update your package lists to ensure you get the latest version and dependencies:
Sudo apt-get update
Step 4: Install nginx.
Install Nginx using the package manager.
Sudo apt-get install nginx
Step 5: Start and Enable Nginx
Start the Nginx service:
Sudo systemctl restart nginx
Sudo systemctl enable nginx
Step 6: Verify Nginx Installation
To check if Nginx is running, you can use:
sudo systemctl status nginx
upload application code file.
Change application code in /var/ www/html/index.nginx-debian.html file.
check the webpage using public ip address.
Public IP of EC2 Instance.
By above these steps, you will have a fully functional Nginx server on your Ubuntu system, ready to serve static or dynamic content, act as a reverse proxy, or perform other advanced tasks.
