Hi nazari-ali,

Is this the same question as #104 or are you asking for something differently?

Hi,
Thank you for responding

I want the server name to be completely removed, I use the "server_tokens off;" command in my attachment file I can only remove the Nginx version.

I used the links below to remove the Nginx name, but I ran into problems every time.

So you want to remove the "Server: Someting" that is transmitted in the request.
And option 1 does not work on the Nginx version this image is based on?

Option 2 is one alternative if you are felling adventurous, you could probably look at the parent containers build scripts.
Option 3 will not work in with the parent Image we are based on, see #154 for further discussion.

I have not looked into this particular setting as I have never thought about turning it off, so I don't really have a lot of input to this issue, sorry :/

For Option 2, can you guide me on what to do?

[JonasAlfredsson]

I would start at looking at the parent container's Dockerfile, and then see where in those steps the guide you linked would fit in.

However, recompiling Nginx is not really anything I have done, but I think there is a guide on the Nginx official page you can look at.

Hi,

This worked for me without any problems.

sed -i 's/Server: nginx/My-Header: hi/' which nginx
