Answer 1

Ubuntu (18.04)

You can see which apps are available by running this command:

ufw app list

Ports: HTTP - 80 HTTPS - 443

Simple way to add them to UFW:

ufw allow 80,443/tcp

If you are wanting to accomplish this via application you will need to create the application ini file within /etc/ufw/applications.d

Example:

vi /etc/ufw/applications.d/nginx.ini

Place this inside file

[Nginx HTTP]
title=Web Server 
description=Enable NGINX HTTP traffic
ports=80/tcp

[Nginx HTTPS] \
title=Web Server (HTTPS) \
description=Enable NGINX HTTPS traffic
ports=443/tcp

[Nginx Full]
title=Web Server (HTTP,HTTPS)
description=Enable NGINX HTTP and HTTPS traffic
ports=80,443/tcp

Then type this commands

ufw app update nginx

ufw app info 'Nginx HTTP'

ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP' 

Answer 2

I had the same problem.. turned out Nginx was not installed due to some reason. So it showed only OpenSSH by doing

sudo ufw app list

I got to this when I tried to uninstall Nginx using the command

sudo apt-get remove nginx

The output showed something like this: Package 'nginx' is not installed, so not removed

Now you have to try installing Nginx again using commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx
sudo ufw app list

now the options will be available // Check to see Available applications: Nginx Full Nginx HTTP Nginx HTTPS OpenSSH

Now allow HTTP port using the command:

sudo ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP'

And finally run this command:

sudo ufw enable

Now hit the URL in browser it will show Nginx default page.

Answer 3

ERROR: Could not find a profile matching 'OpenSSH', Then install first ssh by given command

After installing package add the OpenSSH allow

sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw status

Tested

Answer 4

Happened to me after installing using the official site's instructions for Ubuntu

Simply install as this (after removing if already installed)

sudo apt-get remove nginx
sudo apt install nginx
