How to Easily Enable TLS 1.3 in Nginx on Ubuntu 18.10, 18.04, 16.04, 14.04

In a previous article, I explained the steps of compiling Nginx source code with OpenSSL 1.1.1 in order to enable TLS 1.3 protocol, which was officially released in Augest 2018. In this tutorial, I will show you a simpler way to enable TLS 1.3 on Ubuntu 18.10, 18.04, 16.04 and 14.04.
