Installing and using Nginx on OpenSUSE Linux server is a fairly straightforward process. Here’s an overview of the steps you’ll need to take:
- Start by adding the Nginx repository to your system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/http/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/server:http.repo
- Update the package list by running the following command:
sudo zypper refresh
- Install Nginx by running the following command:
sudo zypper install nginx
- Once the installation is complete, start the Nginx service:
sudo systemctl start nginx
- To make sure Nginx starts automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable nginx
- To verify that Nginx is running, you can check the status of the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status nginx
- The default Nginx configuration files are located in the /etc/nginx/ directory. The main configuration file is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, and the configuration files for individual websites are located in the /etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory.
- To test your Nginx configuration, you can run the following command:
sudo nginx -t
- If the configuration is valid, you can reload Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl reload nginx
- By default, Nginx will serve content from the /usr/share/nginx/html directory. You can place your website files in this directory and they will be served by Nginx. (thelocumguy.com)
By following these steps, you should now have a working installation of Nginx on your OpenSUSE Linux server. You can now use the Nginx to configure and serve your websites.
