Installation instructions for Ubuntu 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
• Create the /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory:
• sudo mkdir -p /etc/ssl/nginx
• Install apt utils:
• sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates wget gnupg2 ubuntu-keyring
• 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 Ubuntu Linux server into /etc/ssl/nginx/ directory. Use your SCP client or other secure file transfer tools.
• Download and add NGINX signing key:
• wget -qO - https://cs.nginx.com/static/keys/nginx_signing.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
• Add NGINX Plus repository:
• printf "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.nginx.com/plus/ubuntu `lsb_release -cs` nginx-plus\n" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-plus.list
• Download nginx-plus apt configuration files to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d:
• sudo wget -P /etc/apt/apt.conf.d https://cs.nginx.com/static/files/90pkgs-nginx
• Update the repository and install NGINX Plus:
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get 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 apt-get update and apt-get install 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/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-plus.list file in a following way:

• deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.nginx.com/plus/Rxx/ubuntu ...

where xx is a release number.
