Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade nginx-service -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.14.1'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade nginx-service -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.14.1'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

- name: Install nginx-service
  win_chocolatey:
    name: nginx-service
    version: '1.14.1'
    source: INTERNAL REPO URL
    state: present

  source   'INTERNAL REPO URL'
  version  '1.14.1'
end

cChocoPackageInstaller nginx-service
{
    Name     = "nginx-service"
    Version  = "1.14.1"
    Source   = "INTERNAL REPO URL"
}

package { 'nginx-service':
  ensure   => '1.14.1',
  provider => 'chocolatey',
  source   => 'INTERNAL REPO URL',

Package Approved

This package was approved by moderator gep13 on 23 Nov 2018.

Description

nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev.
This package provides an nssm Windows service wrapper for it which creates a standard Windows
service named nginx to manage the server.

N!B! Upgrading from nginx-service 1.6.2.1 and below it will have new default configuration location.

It may be disappointing, but here's few reasons why:

  • Writing inside previous C:/ProgramData/nginx requires editor to be opened with Administrator privileges
  • Changing to new directory allow for optimistic migration from 1.6.2.1 to 1.14.1
  • 1.6.2.1 is a quite old and I believe most of users have already found another way for newer nginx. Those who dont, probably also wont bother updating to newer
  • C:/tools/nginx is on par with other web-related choco packages

During installation nginx-service will create following directory structure:

C:/tools/nginx/
├── conf
│   ├── nginx.conf
│   └── ...
├── conf.d
│   ├── server.default.conf
│   └── server.d0n3.ws.conf.sample {Bonus file, read content}
├── html
│   └── index.html
├── logs
│   └── {Required}
└── temp
    └── {Required}
  • Place your custom config files inside conf.d
  • Conf to be included must follow naming pattern server*.conf where * is a wildcard
  • Above allows config pattern where extra .conf files are included (and reused) manually from server*.conf, i.e. PHP location directive
  • It is safe to edit/rename/remove default config files. They will be restored during upgrade only if conf.d is empty

See the nginx.org for more detailed documentation.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
