Connection to Debian 10 Minimal with NginX

  1. After purchasing and starting the Nginx, you should know its IP address. You can find it in the personal account of Azure. (You need to select the Container from the list. By clicking the item “Overview”, your IP is displayed in the line “Public IP Address”).
  1. To work, you should open ports TCP-80 in the network properties in the Azure firewall
  1. To connect to a VM, you need the PuTTY application to connect via ssh. You can download it at the following link – Download
  2. Run PuTTY, enter the VM address in the “Host” field and click “Open” to connect.
  1. In the opened console, you will need to enter a username (1) and password (2) that were specified while the VM was being created (you’ll not see the password in the console while entering it).
  1. To check that NginX is up and running and get the list of all running nginx processes, enter the command 

ps -ax | grep nginx

Once nginx is started, it can be controlled by invoking the executable with the -s parameter. Use the following syntax:

nginx -s signal

Where signal may be one of the following:

  • stop — fast shutdown
  • quit — graceful shutdown
  • reload — reloading the configuration file
  • reopen — reopening the log files
  1. Insert the IP of the VM in the address bar of your browser

Now you can easily leverage all the benefits of your own Nginx Server.
