Nginx Installation

Return to nginx Helm search, Helm install, Nginx, Nginx on Docker, Nginx on Kubernetes, Nginx on Linux (Nginx on Debian: Nginx on Ubuntu, Nginx on Raspberry Pi OS, Nginx on Fedora: Nginx on RHEL, Nginx on Rocky), Nginx on Windows - Nginx on WSL, Nginx on macOS, GitHub Nginx, Awesome Nginx

Windows

Chocolatey

Install with Chocolatey:

choco install nginx

nginx [engine x] is an HTTP server and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev.

This package provides an nssm Windows service wrapper for it which creates a standard Windows service named nginx to manage the Nginx server.

During installation nginx-service will create following nginx directory structure:

C:/tools/nginx

conf
- nginx.conf
- …

conf.d
- server.default.conf
- server.d0n3.ws.conf.sample {Bonus file, read content}

html
- index.html

logs
- {Required}

temp
- {Required}

Place your nginx custom config files inside conf.d

Conf to be included must follow naming pattern server*.conf where * is a wildcard

Above allows config pattern where extra .conf files are included (and reused) manually from server*.conf, i.e. PHP location directive

It is safe to edit/rename/remove default config files. They will be restored during upgrade only if conf.d is empty

Fair Use Source: https://chocolatey.org/packages/nginx-service

nginx-service package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.

Config file(s) location “C:\tools\nginx\conf.d”

Nginx now can be started and stopped as regular Windows service or through NSSM command interface Type one of those commands in CMD or PowerShell for nginx-service control:

To start service: net start nginx or nssm start nginx

To stop service: net stop nginx or nssm stop nginx

To restart service do both:
- net stop nginx and net start nginx
- nssm stop nginx and nssm start nginx

Environment Vars (like PATH) have changed. Close/reopen your shell to see the changes (or in powershell/cmd.exe just type `refreshenv`). The install of nginx-service was successful.

Software install location not explicitly set, could be in package or default install location if installer.

Chocolatey installed 2/2 packages.

See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
