## 2.0 Running an Nginx Enclave OS Application

This section describes how to run an NGINX Enclave OS application on a compute node in Fortanix CCM.

### 2.1 Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisite is met:

- An NGINX application must be created.

### 2.2 Run the Application

Perform the following steps:

1. Log in to Fortanix Armor Platform. *For more information,* [*Getting Started with Fortanix Armor*](/v1/docs/fortanix-armor-getting-started)*.*
2. Create a Fortanix Armor Identity and Access Management (IAM) group. *For more information, refer to* [*Create a Group*](/v1/docs/fortanix-armor-identity-and-access-management-iam#43-create-a-group)*.*

5. Add an NGINX application. *For more information, refer to* [*Add Application*](/v1/docs/fortanix-ccm-add-and-edit-an-application#40-add-enclave-os-application2)*.*
6. Approve the domain for the NGINX application. *For more information, refer to* [*Domain and Application Build Approval*](/v1/docs/fortanix-ccm-domain-and-application-build-approval)*.*
7. On the application details page, click **ADD BUILD**.
8. Create an application build for the NGINX application by providing a required tag. *For more information, refer to* [*Create Application Build*](/v1/docs/fortanix-ccm-create-a-build)*.*
9. Approve the application build for the NGINX application. *For more information, refer to* [*Domain and Application Build Approval*](/v1/docs/fortanix-ccm-domain-and-application-build-approval)*.*
10. Run the following command to execute the application build:

```bash
sudo docker run -it --rm --privileged -v /run/nitro_enclaves:/run/nitro_enclaves -e RUST_LOG=debug -e NODE_AGENT=http://172.31.14.110:9092/v1/ -p 80:80 -p 443:443 513076507034.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/development-images/em-test-framework-nginx-9913:nitro
```

Where,

> [!NOTE]
> NOTE
> 
> - Use your own inputs for Node IP, Port, and Converted Image in the above format. The information in the example above is just a sample.
> - You can optionally pass the `ENCLAVEOS_DEBUG` environment variable to run the application in debug mode.
  - `9092` is the port on which the Node Agent listens.
  - `172.31.14.110` is the Node Agent Host IP.
  - `em-test-framework-nginx-9913:nitro` is the converted application image displayed in the **BUILDS** table.
11. To verify that the application is running, click **Applications** and verify that the application build is displayed as running on the application details page.
