--- title: Install Hello nginx on openSUSE using the Snap Store | Snapcraft description: Get the latest version of Hello nginx for on openSUSE - Zero-config nginx web server for developers, listening on port 8080 url: https://snapcraft.io/install/hello-nginx/opensuse --- [Canonical Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/) # Install Hello nginx on **openSUSE** # Hello nginx [Carlos Bravo (carlos-bravo)](https://snapcraft.io/publisher/carlos-bravo "View all snaps from Carlos Bravo (carlos-bravo)") * [Carlos Bravo (carlos-bravo)](https://snapcraft.io/publisher/carlos-bravo "View all snaps from Carlos Bravo (carlos-bravo)") * [Development](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=development) [Install](https://snapcraft.io/install/hello-nginx/opensuse#install) #### 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. Source, template and documentation: **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 ``` ### Package name * hello-nginx --- ### License * BSD-2-Clause --- ### Last updated * Yesterday - latest/stable * 13 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx](https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx "https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx") --- ### Contact * [github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues](https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues "https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx](https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx "https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues](https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues "https://github.com/carlosbravoa/hello-nginx/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/hello-nginx/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE 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 from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Hello nginx To install Hello nginx, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install hello-nginx ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
