Docker Installation of Nginx

Nginx is a high-performance HTTP and reverse proxy web server, also providing IMAP/POP3/SMTP services.

1. Check Available Nginx Versions

Visit the Nginx image repository address: https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx?tab=tags.

You can view other versions of Nginx by sorting, with the default being the latest version nginx:latest.

You can also find other versions you want in the dropdown list.

Additionally, we can use the docker search nginx command to check available versions:

$ docker search nginx

2. Pull the Latest Nginx Image

Here, we pull the official latest version of the image:

$ docker pull nginx:latest

3. Check Local Images

Use the following command to check if Nginx is installed:

$ docker images

From the image above, we can see that we have installed the latest version (latest) of the Nginx image.

4. Run the Container

After installation, we can use the following command to run the Nginx container:

$ docker run --name nginx-test -p 8080:80 -d nginx

Parameter explanations:

--name nginx-test: Container name.
-p 8080:80: Port mapping, mapping local port 8080 to the container's internal port 80.
-d nginx: Setting the container to run in the background.

5. Successful Installation

Finally, we can access the Nginx service on port 8080 directly through the browser.
