None of the above answers worked for me so let me share my experience  I am running nginx in a docker container that has a port mapping  hostPort containerPort  - 80 80 The above answers are giving me strange console output  Only the good old  nmap  is working flawlessly even catching the nginx version  The command working for me is    nmap -sV localhost -p 80   We are doing nmap using the -ServiceVersion switch on the localhost and port  80  It works great for me
