# NGINX Unprivileged Docker Image

This repo contains a series of Dockerfiles to create an NGINX Docker image that runs NGINX as a non root, unprivileged user. Notable differences with respect to the official [NGINX Docker](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx) image include:

* The default NGINX listen port is now `8080` instead of `80` (this is no longer necessary as of Docker `20.03` but it's still required in other container runtimes)
* The default NGINX user directive in `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` has been removed
* The default NGINX PID has been moved from `/var/run/nginx.pid` to `/tmp/nginx.pid`
* Change `*_temp_path` variables to `/tmp/*`

New images are built and pushed to on a weekly basis (every Monday night).

Check out the [docs](https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx) for the upstream Docker NGINX image for a detailed explanation on how to use this image.

## Supported Image Registries and Platforms

### Image Registries

You can find pre-built images in each of the following registries:

* Amazon ECR -
* Docker Hub -
* GitHub Container Registry -
* Quay -

### Architectures

Most images are built for the `amd64`, `arm32v5` (for Debian), `arm32v6` (for Alpine), `arm32v7`, `arm64v8`, `i386`, `mips64le` (for Debian), `ppc64le` and `s390x` architectures.

## Troubleshooting Tips

* If you override the default `nginx.conf` file you may encounter various types of error messages:
* To fix `nginx: [emerg] open() "/var/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied)`, you have to specify a valid `pid` location by adding the line `pid /tmp/nginx.pid;` at the top level of your config.
* To fix `nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/var/cache/nginx/client_temp" failed (30: Read-only file system)`, you have to specify a valid location for the various NGINX temporary paths by adding these lines within the `http` context:

```nginx
http {
client_body_temp_path /tmp/client_temp;
proxy_temp_path /tmp/proxy_temp_path;
fastcgi_temp_path /tmp/fastcgi_temp;
uwsgi_temp_path /tmp/uwsgi_temp;
scgi_temp_path /tmp/scgi_temp;
...
}
```

## On Reporting Issues

Whilst issues and PRs are welcome, please do note that:

1. Issues related to security vulnerabilities will be promptly closed unless they are accompanied by a solid reasoning as to why the vulnerability poses a real security threat to this image. Check out the [`SECURITY`](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx-unprivileged/blob/main/SECURITY.md) doc for more details.
2. These images are unprivileged ports of the upstream [Docker NGINX](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx) images. Any changes that do not specifically involve the changes made to run NGINX on an unprivileged system should be reported in the [Docker NGINX](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx) upstream repo. They will not get addressed here.
3. Following from 2., base images (e.g. Alpine x.x or Debian x) in the [Docker NGINX](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx) upstream repo get updated when a new version of NGINX is released, never within the same release version. Similarly, new NGINX releases usually make their way to the [Docker NGINX](https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx) image a couple days after their standard release. Please refrain from opening an issue or PR here if the upstream repo hasn't been updated -- it will be closed.
