## Details

These guides provide instructions for installing the NGINX web server and enabling it on Oracle Linux 8 or later.
NGINX is a lightweight HTTP/S server capable of higher performance and lower memory use than a typical Apache web server deployment. However, this performance gain comes at the cost of some functionality and flexibility. NGINX has also gained in popularity as a powerful proxy service capable of functioning as a direct HTTP proxy, a reverse proxy with caching, an SMTP, POP3, or IMAP proxy, or a generic TCP/UDP proxy. NGINX also provides load-balancing services with fault tolerance.

### Background
### Objectives

NGINX is a lightweight HTTP/S server that is capable of higher performance and lower memory use than a typical Apache web server deployment. However, this performance gain comes at the cost of some functionality and flexibility. NGINX has also gained in popularity as a powerful proxy service that is capable of functioning as a direct HTTP proxy, a reverse proxy with caching, an SMTP, POP3 or IMAP proxy or as a generic TCP/UDP proxy. NGINX also provides load balancing services with fault tolerance.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to:

On earlier Oracle Linux versions, the NGINX web server was provided as part of a software collection package. The web server package is now directly available from the Oracle Linux 8 Application Streams repository and therefore simpler to deploy and configure.
- Install and enable the NGINX web server
- Create a custom site
- Enable SSL using a self-signed certificate

### What Do You Need?
### Prerequisites

- Any system with Oracle Linux 8 installed
- Minimum of a single Oracle Linux system

- Each system should have Oracle Linux installed and configured with:
- A non-root user account with sudo access
- Access to the Internet

> If using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), create ingress security rules for destination ports 80, 443, and 8080 from anywhere.
