Nginx Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Is the Nginx repo the same as the Ubuntu 18.04 repo?

I have installed Nginx using the following repo:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/ubuntu bionic nginx

I now need to install Phusion Passenger which is telling me that unless I have installed from the official Ubuntu repo I will need to recompile the Passenger module etc.

I have tried to find where IF ANY is the Ubuntu ‘official’ repo for Nginx, and not succeeded.

How can I find the ‘official’ Ubuntu 18.04 Nginx repo?

    The bionic repo should be

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic

    After which you should put your categories (like main multiverse..)

    Web url here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/

    You probably want nginx-full from universe

    https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/nginx-full

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe

    This random forum post from ubuntuforums has a good post on what the full contents of your sources.lst should be and a sources generator: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2398031#post13789955

    As a complement to the accepted answer:

    Whenever you’re told to install from the "official Ubuntu repositories", this usually simply means installing using apt:

    sudo apt install nginx

    Which, unless you added extra repositories by editing /etc/apt/sources.list or adding files to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, will grab the packages from the default repositories of your Ubuntu release.

    If you want to check which repository apt will pick when installing a package, use policy:

    apt policy nginx

    In a default Ubuntu 18.04 system this will output something like this:

    nginx:
  Installed: 1.14.0-0ubuntu1.10
  Candidate: 1.14.0-0ubuntu1.10
  Version table:
 *** 1.14.0-0ubuntu1.10 500
