In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Nginx, a popular web server, on MXLinux. Following these simple steps, you will have a reliable and powerful web server up and running in no time.
The first step is to ensure that your system is up to date. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
This command will download and install any available updates to your system.
The next step is to add the Nginx repository to your system. Open the terminal and enter the following command:
echo "deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/debian/ $(lsb_release -cs) nginx" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx.list
This command adds the Nginx repository to your system's list of repositories.
Now that we've added the Nginx repository to your system, we need to add the Nginx signing key so that our system can verify the packages. To do that, run the following command:
wget http://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key && sudo apt-key add nginx_signing.key
We're now ready to install Nginx. To do that, run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nginx
This command will download and install Nginx on your system.
After installing Nginx, it will automatically start running. In case it doesn't, run the following command to start the server:
sudo systemctl start nginx
To verify that Nginx is correctly installed and running, open a web browser and enter localhost in the address bar. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the Nginx welcome page.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nginx on your MXLinux system. Nginx is now ready to serve your web content to the world.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
