# 🌟 Introduction
This is a dedicated example for the AlmaLinux 8.x series, demonstrating how to install Nginx using one of the three variants:
- Variant I: AppStream non-module
- Variant II: AppStream module
- Variant III: Nginx mainline repository
# 📝 Installation instructions
# System Updates First!
WARNING
Please make sure to run sudo dnf update before proceeding with any other installation or configuration steps to ensure that your system is up-to-date and any known security vulnerabilities or bugs are patched.
# 📖 Available Nginx Versions (AlmaLinux OS 8.7)
Different Nginx server versions are available to install depending on the installation variant.
| Installation Variant | Nginx Versions available | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟥 | AppStream non-module | 1.14 | Default version is outdated and does not get updates! Inadvisable. |
| 🟩 | AppStream module | 1.14 -- 1.20 | Module version are getting the security updates. The recommended method. |
| 🟨 | Nginx mainline repo | 1.15.2 -- 1.23.3¹ | You always get latest version of Nginx avaiable. Second good (small chance of incompatibilty). |
¹ current version at the time of testing (1.23.4 already available at Nginx.org)

# 🔖 Variant I - AppStream Non-module Install
There is no Nginx AppStream non-module package on AlmaLinux 8.x series, but there is an Appstream module one. For that reason, dnf will offer you to install Nginx as module (version 1:1.14) and accompanying elements of its Application Stream, by default.
# ➡️ Install
sudo dnf install nginx

# ➡️ Test installation
nginx -v
Expected output:
nginx version: nginx/1.14.1
# 🔖 Variant II: AppStream Module Install
To install the latest module version of Nginx on AlmaLinux (8.7 in the example below) you can list available module versions (streams) and then install ("enable" for modules) selected version.
# ➡️ Pre-Install: list versions
sudo dnf module list nginx
Example output (pre-install):
AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream 5.0 kB/s | 4.1 kB 00:00
AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream 6.3 MB/s | 12 MB 00:01
AlmaLinux 8 - Extras 4.2 kB/s | 3.8 kB 00:00

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 11 kB/s | 28 kB 00:02

AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream
Name Stream Profiles Summary
nginx 1.14 [d][x] common [d] nginx webserver
nginx 1.16 [x] common [d] nginx webserver
nginx 1.18 [x] common [d] nginx webserver
nginx 1.20 [x] common [d] nginx webserver
Hint: [d]efault, [e]nabled, [x]disabled, [i]nstalled
# ➡️ Install: enable the selected module version
sudo dnf module enable nginx:1.20
Example output (module enable)):

# ➡️ Install: actual package installation
sudo dnf install nginx
Expected output (install):
WARNING
TODO: EXAMPLE IS MISSING! ::😒
# ➡️ Test installation
nginx -v
Expected output (test)
nginx version: nginx/1.20.1
WARNING
Note: If you switch between different versions of a module, you may need to reset its state using the command dnf module reset <module-name> to enable installing another version.
In Nginx case <module-name> is nginx.
# 🔖 Variant III: Main-line Repository Install
To install the latest RPM package of Nginx on AlmaLinux (8.7 in example below) from the official Nginx repository (https://nginx.org), you can follow these steps:
# ➡️ Add the repository
Import the Nginx signing key
sudo rpm --import https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
Create a new Nginx repository file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with editor of choice
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/nginx.repo
** Populate the new repo file with below text (copy-paste & press Ctrl+D)**
[nginx-mainline]
name=nginx mainline repo
baseurl=http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/centos/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key
module_hotfixes=true
TIP
When editing the file, you can change enabled=0 setting it to 1. With that change you can skip next two steps (installing dnf-utils and running dnf config-manager).
# ➡️ Install dnf-uils
sudo dnf install dnf-utils
Enable the newly add external repo from nginx.org:
sudo dnf config-manager --enable nginx-mainline
Finally, install Nginx:
sudo dnf install nginx
Example output:
With the official Nginx mainline repo enabled dnf allows to install the latest available: 1.23.3.
