Hello everyone!  
I would like to upgrade Nginx, I added the official repository to my apt but I upgrade it directly because there is a difference on packages name.  
I have virtualmin-lemp-stack installed that wants nginx-full | nginx-extras packages.The official package name is nginx (with no suffix)

Package: virtualmin-lemp-stack  
Version: 6.1.4+ubuntu-20.04

Depends: bsdutils, libcrypt-ssleay-perl, unzip, zip, fcgiwrap, openssl, python3, nginx-full | nginx-extras, webmin-virtualmin-nginx, webmin-virtualmin-nginx-ssl, php-pear, php-cgi, php-cli, php-fpm, php-mysql, ntpdate, postfix, postfix-pcre

Package: nginx-full  
Version: 1.18.0-0ubuntu1.2

my question is: how I can update Nginx to 1.20 version without losing my configurations on Virtualmin?

thank you!  
Dario

What “official repository” do you mean?

I’m sorry Joe!  
I meant the Nginx official repository  
[http://nginx.org/en/linux\_packages.html#Ubuntu](http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Ubuntu)

So, they just have one package called `nginx`? (Unlike Ubuntu/Debian that have several packages that bundle various combinations of nginx+modules.)

If so, I guess I can push a new version of the stack metapackages that allows `nginx` to satisfy the dependency.

But, also…are you really sure you want to do this? 1.18 is fine (I don’t know of any major new capabilities in 1.20), and using the OS-provided package is going to always be the best tested path and the most likely to Just Work, including with Virtualmin but not just with Virtualmin. I don’t know whether their package uses standard paths…you might break things in surprising ways (or maybe not…it’s completely untested by us).
