related: I’ve been poking around with the `install-nginx` script, and I found a minor logic error: the cleanup line that’s _supposed_ to delete the nginx source from `/tmp/` actually doesn’t do anything.

There is no `/tmp/nginx/` directory: it’s `/tmp/nginx-$VERSION/` (at the moment it’s `/tmp/nginx-1.17.4/` and there’s also the tarball `/tmp/nginx-1.17.4.tar.gz`).

- [discourse\_docker/image/base/install-nginx at 416467f6ead98f82342e8a926dc6e06f36dfbd56 · discourse/discourse\_docker · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/416467f6ead98f82342e8a926dc6e06f36dfbd56/image/base/install-nginx#L41)

I think you mean this instead:

```plaintext
rm -fr /tmp/nginx-${VERSION}*

```
