How to update NGINX Web server

Open update page ↗

Read the release notes first — self-hosted projects break config and schemas between versions more often than appliances do.
Docker: pull the new image tag and recreate the container (`docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`).
Package or bare metal: update through your distribution's package manager, or replace the binary from the releases page.
Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.

Always install releases from the project itself. Firmwarely links out; it never hosts downloads.

What is the latest version of NGINX Web server?

Version 1.31.8, released Oct 21, 2026. This page is refreshed every hour from the project's release page.

How do I update NGINX Web server?

See the step-by-step above. Pull the new image or package and restart the service. Read the release notes and back up the data directory first; most projects can't downgrade once the database has migrated.

How does Firmwarely know when there's a new version?

Is this an official NGINX page?

No. Firmwarely is independent. Project and product names belong to their owners; always install releases from the project's own source.
