MacOS X中如何让nginx以服务形式启动在80端口

开发环境需要在本地映射域名和端口，无奈选择安装nginx。本文介绍如何将homebrew安装的nginx以符合MacOS标准的方式默认启动在80端口。

安装nginx

brew install nginx

拷贝plist文件到启动脚本目录

sudo cp /usr/local/opt/nginx/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/

文件内容如下

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>homebrew.mxcl.nginx</string>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <false/>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/local/opt/nginx/bin/nginx</string>
        <string>-g</string>
        <string>daemon off;</string>
    </array>
    <key>WorkingDirectory</key>
    <string>/usr/local</string>
  </dict>
</plist>

想要方便的启动和关闭nginx可以将下面两个别名添加到$HOME/.profile

# Nginx needs to bind to port 80 so must run as /Library/LaunchDaemon with sudo
alias start-nginx='sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist'
alias stop-nginx='sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.nginx.plist'
