Using TLSv1.3

[benshalev849]

I have been trying for a while to use TLSv1.3 with this nginx image.
Tried installing openssl 1.1.1 directly into the image via the following lines:

# Install openssl 1.1.1
RUN wget https://ftp.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1k.tar.gz
RUN tar -xzvf openssl-1.1.1k.tar.gz
RUN /openssl-1.1.1k/config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/etc/ssl --libdir=lib no-shared zlib-dynamic
RUN make
RUN make install
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64

Also tried to use a centos8 image, but the controller is not compatible with it.

This is the configuration:

When having the configuration on a VM it works and i get TLSv1.3 communication.
When using the docker image built it does not work (With the same configuration same everything).
Is there a way for me to be able to use TLSv1.3 with the controller and this image?

Are you trying to create a container to use with NGINX Controller or just for NGINX OSS/Plus?

Tried creating a container connected to the NGINX Controller.
Built the image via the README supplied in this repo.

[jnewfield]

Judging by the posted NGINX+ configuration you are not experiencing any issues with your NGINX Controller managing control-plane communications, is this correct?
# Generated by NGINX Controller 1666183879 [ADC-1533cd2c-7a02-4ed1-9ac6-7a2f7a456004] - instance:pdns-all:unspecified;
I find TLSv1.3 does not work with a CentOS7 (RHEL7) vm, with or without openssl 1.1.1 installed.
TLSv1.3 does work with RedHat8 (RHEL8) out of the box
This is expected behavior given that openssl on RHEL7 does not support TLSv1.3 while openssl on RHEL8 does support TLSv1.3
I find creating a container based on an image from Ubuntu 20.04 that TLSv1.3 works without issue (out of the box)

# This dockerfile also support Ubuntu 16.04
# To use Ubuntu 16.04 replace base image with below one:
#FROM ubuntu:16.04
#FROM ubuntu:18.04
FROM ubuntu:20.04

LABEL maintainer="NGINX Controller Engineering"
...

Does that work for you?
