Nginx Nginx 1.9.11 next version with dynamic module support !

Nginx 1.9.11 looks to be scheduled for release in 6 days with dynamic module support ! No more recompiles for Nginx to add or remove nginx modules I hope Roadmap – nginx. It's out now Introducing Dynamic Modules in NGINX 1.9.11 - NGINX

---

 

it's coming [nginx] Dynamic modules.

 

more developments nginx: log

 

Centmin Mod Nginx already integrates ngx_pagespeed via source compile, see Nginx PageSpeed - CentminMod.com LEMP Nginx web stack for CentOS

But we shall see how all Centmin Mod's compiled nginx modules play with Dynamic nginx module loading

 

sweet now to figure out how to use dynamic modules Core functionality

 

testing on 123.09beta01 private local build first and tried that approach, stream module errors though when set to dynamic

Code:

Starting nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "stream" in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf:20

Code:

ls -lah /usr/local/nginx/modules
total 824K
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  102 Feb 10 00:09 .
drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 4.0K Feb 10 00:01 ..
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 126K Feb 10 00:09 ngx_http_geoip_module.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 137K Feb 10 00:09 ngx_http_image_filter_module.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 549K Feb 10 00:09 ngx_stream_module.so

line 20 of nginx.conf is for the stream context setup for redis streams on wordpress auto install routine in centmin.sh menu option 22 for redis at nginx level caching future features on my test private install

Code:

stream {
  upstream backend-multi {
    zone     upstream_backend-multi 20m;
    least_conn;

#    server 127.0.0.1:23001;
#    server 127.0.0.1:23002;
#    server 127.0.0.1:23003;
#    server 127.0.0.1:23004;

    server 127.0.0.1:6379 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server 127.0.0.1:6380 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server 127.0.0.1:6381 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server 127.0.0.1:6382 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server 127.0.0.1:6383 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    server 127.0.0.1:6384 weight=1 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
#    server 127.0.0.1:6382 backup;
#    server 127.0.0.1:6383 backup;
#    server 127.0.0.1:6384 backup;
  }

  server {
    listen 19001 reuseport backlog=8192;
    proxy_connect_timeout 2s;
    proxy_timeout 5s;
    proxy_pass backend-multi;
  }
}

ah might be missing this step

working now with loaded modules via

Code:

load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_stream_module.so";

 

Updated Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 branch with nginx dynamic module support detection. If nginx version you are attempting to upgrade to via centmin.sh menu option 4 has dynamic module support i.e. nginx 1.9.11, then dynamically configure supporting nginx modules with dynamic flag and setup an include file in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf

in /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf include file /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf is tagged to after pcre_jit option

Code (Text):

pcre_jit on;
include /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf;

then each dynamic module supported nginx module is automatically appended into the /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf file to load those modules

Code (Text):

cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf
load_module "modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so";
load_module "modules/ngx_stream_module.so";

which means to unload a dynamically enabled nginx module, you do not need to recompile nginx, but instead comment out the specific load_mdoule line in /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf and restart nginx

Code (Text):

ls -lah /usr/local/nginx/modules 
total 824K
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  102 Feb 10 00:09 .
drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 4.0K Feb 10 00:01 ..
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 126K Feb 10 00:40 ngx_http_geoip_module.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 137K Feb 10 00:40 ngx_http_image_filter_module.so
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 root root 549K Feb 10 00:40 ngx_stream_module.so

end result is

this was with 1.9.11 conflicting lua-nginx-module, ngx_brotli and ngx_pagespeed disabled via
persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc setup for

Code:

NGINX_PAGESPEED=n
NGINX_LIBBROTLI='n'
LUAJIT_GITINSTALL='n'
ORESTY_LUANGINX='n'

 

they are dynamically added to that include file if the nginx module supports dynamic module loading and i have coded it as such in inc/nginx_configure.inc
