#### Zero-config nginx web server for developers, listening on port 8080

A static web server in a strictly confined snap. Install it and nginx serves a page on port 8080 right away. Then choose how to serve your own site.

**Serve a git repository (no build needed)**

Point the snap at a public repository with your static files. It fetches the latest commit and serves it. It can also follow the branch as you push, and roll back with one command:

```
   sudo hello-nginx deploy https://github.com/me/my-site.git
   sudo hello-nginx deploy https://github.com/me/my-site.git --path public
   sudo hello-nginx auto-update 15m
   sudo hello-nginx rollback
```

Branches can serve as environments: staging servers follow one branch, production servers another.

**Or ship your site as its own snap**

hello-nginx is also a template. Build your website into a snap of your own, and the content is versioned with the server. Go to the project repository (open source, MIT license) and use it as a template for your own site. The benefits of a website inside a snap:

* **Portability** Can tun in many Ubuntu versions without dependency and version issues.
* **Security** It runs in full confinement!
* **Updates are all-or-nothing.** `snap refresh` swaps the site and nginx together, so nobody sees a half-copied site.
* **Rollback is one command.** `snap revert my-site` brings back the previous site.
* **Channels become environments.** For example, `edge` can be staging and `stable` production, with `snapcraft release` as the promotion step.
* **cloud-init becomes trivial.** It's just `snap install my-site`, with no setup steps after it.

**Manage the server**

```
   sudo hello-nginx port 80
   sudo hello-nginx restart
   hello-nginx status
   sudo hello-nginx logs -f
```

Settings also work with `snap set`, which suits automation and cloud-init:

```
   sudo snap set hello-nginx port=80 git.repo=https://github.com/me/my-site.git
```

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install Hello nginx

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

### Install Hello nginx

To install Hello nginx, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install hello-nginx
```
