Issue

How can nginx be added to UFW. nginx is not appearing in the UFW lst?

When running the command: ufw app list

Nginx does not appear in it. How can nginx be added to UFW?

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Solution

its easy to add your own app:

create a file:

/etc/ufw/applications.d/nginx

with the following content:

[Nginx]
title=Nginx Web Server (HTTP + HTTPS)
description=Small, but very powerful and efficient web server
ports=80,443/tcp

tell ufw about the new app:

ufw app update Nginx

allow Nginx:

ufw allow Nginx
