Installation instructions for Alpine Linux

• If you already have old NGINX packages in your system, back up your configs and logs:
• sudo cp -a /etc/nginx /etc/nginx-plus-backup
• sudo cp -a /var/log/nginx /var/log/nginx-plus-backup
• Log in to MyF5, if you purchased subscription, or follow the link in the trial activation email, and download the following two files:
• nginx-repo.key
• nginx-repo.crt
• Upload nginx-repo.key to /etc/apk/cert.key and nginx-repo.crt to /etc/apk/cert.pem. Please make sure that files do not contain other certificates and keys: Alpine Linux does not support mixing client certificates for different repositories.
• Put NGINX signing public key to directory /etc/apk/keys:
• sudo wget -O /etc/apk/keys/nginx_signing.rsa.pub https://cs.nginx.com/static/keys/nginx_signing.rsa.pub
• Add NGINX repository to /etc/apk/repositories file:
• printf "https://pkgs.nginx.com/plus/alpine/v`egrep -o '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' /etc/alpine-release`/main\n" | sudo tee -a /etc/apk/repositories
• It is recommended to remove all community-supported NGINX packages. Please note all NGINX modules will be removed too.
• sudo apk del -r nginx
• Install the NGINX Plus package:
• sudo apk add nginx-plus
• Check the nginx binary version to ensure that you have NGINX Plus installed correctly:
• nginx -v
