This Dockerfile creates an NGINX Docker image that runs NGINX as a non root, unprivileged user. Notable differences with respect to the official NGINX Docker image include:
- The default NGINX listen port is now
8080instead of80. - The default NGINX user directive in
/etc/nginx/nginx.confhas been removed. - The default NGINX PID has been moved from
/var/run/nginx.pidto/tmp/nginx.pid. - Change
*_temp_pathvariables to/tmp/*.
Docker Hub images are built for the amd64, arm32v5 (for Debian), arm32v6 (for Alpine), arm32v7, arm64v8, i386, mips64le (for Debian), ppc64le and s390x architectures and can be found at https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged.
Warning: The latest mainline release, 1.21.1, does not have an Alpine i386 arch image due to an upstream mercurial bug.
