How can I update NGINX?

That site seems to just check the major version based off the header. The Ghost droplet uses Ubuntu 12.04 which is a Long Term Service release. This means that they backport security patches. You can see the full changelog here: <br> <br>http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/n/nginx/nginx_1.1.19-1ubuntu0.6/changelog <br> <br>If you really want to update, you can add the Nginx PPA that provides newer versions of the package for Ubuntu: <br> <br>https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable <br> <br>Run: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo apt-get install python-software-properties <br>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable <br>sudo apt-get update <br>sudo apt-get upgrade <br></pre>

When you upgrade a package from outside of the official repositories, there’s always potential for breakage. The reason why stable releases of Ubuntu don’t continue to add new upstream versions is to stay with a well known and tested set of packages that work together. That said, I don’t see any reason that a new Nginx will break Ghost. <br> <br>The great thing about DigitalOcean is that you can spin up a droplet quickly to test something and then destroy it. Since you’re only changed per hour, it’s very cheap to test things before you do it to your production server. I just spun up a Ghost droplet and added that PPA. It reinstalled the default, Nginx config which took precedent over the Ghost config. So I had to remove it: <br> <br><pre> <br>sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default <br>sudo service nginx restart <br></pre> <br> <br>And the Ghost blog was up and running.

If i upgrade nginx do you think something might stop working? <br> <br>I changed nothing in the main configuration of it.
