ubuntu/nginx

ubuntu/nginx is a rock for Nginx maintained by https://canonical.com/.

Nginx is a high-performance web and reverse proxy server created by Igor Sysoev. It can be used both as a standalone web server and as a proxy to reduce the load on back-end HTTP or mail servers. Read more on the nginx website.

Tags and Architectures

NOTE: These tags follow a specific naming convention that respects the concept of channels.

Get started

This rock's entrypoint is Pebble, a container-optimized init process that enables the orchestration of a collection of local service processes as an organized set.

\https://documentation.ubuntu.com/pebble/\]

Inspect

To view the https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/en/latest/reference/rockcraft-yaml/#services and https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/latest/reference/rockcraft-yaml/#checks defined in this rock:

sh
docker run --rm ubuntu/nginx:1.26-25.04_beta plan

Run

To run this rock, use any of the usual container runtimes, for example, docker:

sh
docker run --name nginx-container \
    -p 8080:80 \
    ubuntu/nginx:1.26-25.04_beta

Nginx starts and serves content on port 80. Access your Nginx server at http://localhost:8080.

Get logs

To view the logs of the running container, run:

sh
docker exec nginx-container pebble logs

Or, for a specific service:

sh
docker exec nginx-container pebble logs <service>

Monitor health checks

Rocks may have predefined health checks that you can list by running:

sh
docker exec nginx-container pebble checks

The overall health of your container can be inspected via:

sh
docker exec nginx-container pebble health

Deploy with Kubernetes

Works with any Kubernetes; if you don't have one, we recommend you https://microk8s.io/. Then, run microk8s.enable dns storage and snap alias microk8s.kubectl kubectl.

Download https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-server/ubuntu-docker-images/+git/nginx/plain/examples/config/nginx.conf?h=1.18-22.04, https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-server/ubuntu-docker-images/+git/nginx/plain/examples/config/html/index.html?h=1.18-22.04 and https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-server/ubuntu-docker-images/+git/nginx/plain/examples/nginx-deployment.yml?h=1.18-22.04 and set containers.nginx.image in nginx-deployment.yml to your chosen channel tag (e.g. ubuntu/nginx:1.26-25.04_beta), then:

sh
kubectl create configmap nginx-config --from-file=nginx=nginx.conf --from-file=nginx-site=index.html
kubectl apply -f nginx-deployment.yml

You will now be able to connect to the nginx server on http://localhost:31080.
