reduces final size of nginx binary /usr/local/sbin/nginx by stripping. On Centmin Mod .08 beta02 built Nginx reduces binary size from 26MB to 13MB

 

haven't tested it on live production sites.. you can test it and give feedback

 

less space, memory used and could be better performance according to strip (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

CentOS 7 Beta Branch - add support for STRIPPHP='n' to strip PHP binary size if enabled for .08 beta | Centmin Mod Community

 

most RPM builds already strip binaries i think..

 

in theory for source compiled yeah but I haven't done in live production so if you're game, let us know

 

FYI, memcached and csf are ~408KB and ~169K in size already so not sure you'd see much in way of savings that would make a diff ? and looks like CSF binary format isn't recognised by strip

 

Just switched this forum's Nginx 1.9.0 to stripped binary too

Code:

ls -lah /usr/local/sbin/nginx*                       
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13M May 17 06:46 /usr/local/sbin/nginx
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25M May  4 08:17 /usr/local/sbin/nginx.orig

 

update to latest .08 beta02 code, set STRIPNGINX='y' in centmin.sh and run centmin.sh menu option 4 to recompile Nginx
