Installation instructions for FreeBSD

• If you already have old NGINX packages in your system, back up your configs and logs:
• sudo cp -a /usr/local/etc/nginx /usr/local/etc/nginx-plus-backup
• sudo cp -a /var/log/nginx /var/log/nginx-plus-backup
• Create the /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory:
• sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssl/nginx
• 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
• Copy the above two files to the FreeBSD server into /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory. Use your SCP client or other secure file transfer tools.
• Install prerequisite packages:
• sudo pkg install ca_root_nss
• Download the nginx-plus.conf file to /etc/pkg/ directory:
• sudo fetch -o /etc/pkg/nginx-plus.conf http://cs.nginx.com/static/files/nginx-plus.conf
• Add the following lines to the /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf file:
• PKG_ENV: { SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER: "1",
• SSL_CLIENT_CERT_FILE: "/etc/ssl/nginx/nginx-repo.crt",
• SSL_CLIENT_KEY_FILE: "/etc/ssl/nginx/nginx-repo.key" }
• Install NGINX Plus:
• sudo pkg install nginx-plus
• Check the nginx binary version to ensure that you have NGINX Plus installed correctly:
• nginx -v

Upgrading to a specific release

In order to upgrade from the previous version of nginx-plus, run pkg upgrade nginx-plus

Default repository path is configured to point to the latest NGINX Plus release with an ability to downgrade to one of the previous releases issued within 2 years. If you want to stick to the particular release, you should modify repository URL in the /etc/pkg/nginx-plus.conf in a following way:

• URL: pkg+https://pkgs.nginx.com/plus/Rxx/freebsd/${ABI}/latest

where xx is a release number.
