Good advice - I did:

ss -ltpn |grep :80
LISTEN 0      511                                   *:80               *:*    users:
(("apache2",pid=1051,fd=4),("apache2",pid=1023,fd=4),("apache2",pid=1020,fd=4))

wtf?

ps -fae |grep apache
root        1020       1  0 10:29 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data    1023    1020  0 10:29 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data    1051    1020  0 10:29 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

WTF!!! I never installed apache2 - this system has been nginx from the start (–LEMP), and apache is deselected in features and plugins. If it somehow got installed anyway, it was never running until now. I removed apache2 and rebooted and everything was good - Still a mystery on how this could happen.

Thanks for your help guys, you saved the day!!!
