ssl_dhparam directive is duplicate in /etc/nginx/conf.d/perfect_forward_secrecy.conf
Hello. Thank you for this nginx docker. I recently experimented with PFS and found errant behavior in the current script nginx.sh
when PFS is enabled and the nginx service is restarted. It will fail with repeating fatal error
2020/09/13 23:01:14 [emerg] 6#6: "ssl_dhparam" directive is duplicate in /etc/nginx/conf.d/perfect_forward_secrecy.conf:6
nginx: [emerg] "ssl_dhparam" directive is duplicate in /etc/nginx/conf.d/perfect_forward_secrecy.conf:6
This is due to the persistent docker volume you create in the Dockerfile, therefore perfect_forward_secrecy.conf
persists between restarts, therefore when the nginx.sh
script runs on restart, line 142 appends another copy of ssl_dhparam
and other lines.
Repro
- Create a
docker-compose.yml
with a servicenginx
usingdperson/nginx
image with various settings includingPFS=1
-
docker-compose up -d
-
docker-compose restart nginx
-
docker container ls
and notice the constantly restarting container for nginx -
docker logs xxxxxxx
with the containerID of the ever restarting nginx container to see the repeating error
Fix
https://github.com/dperson/nginx/blob/aff6c521f24964c8ab585cf3740ddee254c3ff4b/nginx.sh#L142
A quick fix might be to change line 142 to be a single >
instead of the current >>
so that the file is created clean on each restart. Otherwise, a search/replace for a pre-existing ssl_dhparam
and other settings could be done with a tool like sed
.
