Nginx Nginx 1.9.11 next version with dynamic module support !

from what i can see eventually nginx folks will be offering a repository of dynamic *.so modules you can drop into /usr/local/nginx/modules and use load_module to load them but yes you still need inc/nginx_configure option to specify --with-modulename=dynamic to load them. So in case of Centmin Mod Nginx, if you disable nginx module via it's option i.e. NGINX_GEOIP=n in persistent config file or centmin.sh, then it won't have a corresponding --with-http_geoip_module=dynamic line, so won't load even if /usr/local/nginx/modules/ has the dynamic module ngx_http_geoip_module.so in there

would have to be dropped in /usr/local/nginx/modules/ and then inc/nginx_configure.inc needs to be updated for the appropriate --with-modulename=dynamic line

I can probably add support for custom nginx configure include file which can tag custom nginx module load lines to the existing nginx configure routine, so folks could just add the --with-modulename=dynamic lines as needed

added such support Beta Branch - update inc/nginx_configure.inc | Centmin Mod Community

ah Piotr working on fixes which help ngx_brotli and ngx_pagespeed I believe [PATCH] Core: fix ngx_module_t

and folks following nginx lua module bug report for 1.9.11 Nginx 1.9.11 ngx_udp_connection_t => ngx_resolver_connection_t by charlesportwoodii · Pull Request #669 · openresty/lua-nginx-module · GitHub

 

Good news for centmin mod 123.09beta01 at least

1. Piotr fixed ngx_brotli support This isn’t compiling with nginx 1.9.11 · Issue #16 · google/ngx_brotli · GitHub
2. Charles submitted a pull request for patch work around for lua-nginx-module support in nginx 1.9.11 Nginx 1.9.11 ngx_udp_connection_t => ngx_resolver_connection_t by charlesportwoodii · Pull Request #669 · openresty/lua-nginx-module · GitHub and i added patch support as a temp workaround Beta Branch - add luapatch function for nginx 1.9.11 | Centmin Mod Community
3. I took an opportunity to also add patch support for lua-nginx 0.10 compatibility Beta Branch - add luaopensslpatch support for lua-nginx-module 0.10+ | Centmin Mod Community
4. so just leaves ngx_pagespeed fixes to come Fix building with nginx 1.9.11+ and support dynamic module loading · Issue #1110 · pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed · GitHub

nginx 1.9.11 with ngx_brotli and lua nginx 0.9.20 and libressl AND NGINX_PAGESPEED=n

nginx 1.9.11 with ngx_brotli and lua nginx 0.10 which requires fallback from libressl to openssl AND NGINX_PAGESPEED=n

 

Looks like nginx 1.9.12 coming [nginx] Version bump. ?

nginx: log

edit: okay 3 weeks away Roadmap – nginx

 

Piotr working his magic on ngx_pagespeed 1.10 fix for nginx 1.9.11 just need a patch for ngx_pagespeed 1.9 branch too Fix build with nginx-1.9.11+. by PiotrSikora · Pull Request #1114 · pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed · GitHub

 

great !

Unfortunately for 123.08stable i had to update code to temporarily disable ngx_pagespeed and nginx lua via

Code:

ORESTY_LUANGINX='n'
NGINX_PAGESPEED=n

as nginx lua 0.10 compatibility and ngx_pagespeed 1.10 branch work arounds don't already exist in 123.08stable that are already in place in centmin mod 123.09beta01

ngx_pagespeed are only fixing 1.10 branch for nginx 1.9.11 compatibility issues Fix build with nginx-1.9.11+. by PiotrSikora · Pull Request #1114 · pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed · GitHub and 123.08stable isn't ready for 1.10 branch of ngx_pagespeed due to other compatibility issues with higher GCC requirements in ngx_pagespeed 1.10 that CentOS 6 doesn't have out of box. Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 has workarounds but they don't exist in 123.08stable

5+ days out till ngx_pagespeed 1.10.33.5 is out with 1.9.11 official support

Compilation Error · Issue #1117 · pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed · GitHub

 

looks like ngx_pagespeed 1.10.33.4 patch doesn't work now on 123.09beta01 and lua nginx 0.9.20 broken but seems lua nginx 0.10.1rc0 was released with nginx 1.9.11 support but lua nginx 0.10 will trigger switch from libressl to openssl 1.0.2f for nginx as lua nginx 0.10 has features only available in openssl but not libressl

this is latest 123.09beta01 with ngx_pagespeed disabled for now and lua nginx 0.10.1rc0 set via persistent config file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc with:

Code:

ORESTY_LUANGINX='y'
NGINX_PAGESPEED=n
ORESTY_LUANGINXVER='0.10.1rc0'

or for now you can disable ngx_pagespeed and nginx lua via persistent config file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc and then recompile nginx 1.9.11 via centmin.sh menu option 4

Code:

ORESTY_LUANGINX='n''
NGINX_PAGESPEED=n

or in centmin mod 123.09beta01 you set variable in persistent config file for

Code:

NGINX_PAGESPEEDGITMASTER=y

and recompile nginx 1.9.11 via centmin.sh menu option 4

I fixed a bug for this update inc/downloads.inc · centminmod/centminmod@8ea7f8a · GitHub so you can actually install ngx_pagespeed from github master branch instead of point release versions as master has 1.9.11 fix in it before 1.10.33.5 beta ngx_pagespeed release

the ngx_pagespeed master code folder is renamed 1.10.33.4 just for cosmetic purposes

this was with persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

Code:

ORESTY_LUANGINX='n'
NGINX_PAGESPEED=y
NGINX_PAGESPEEDGITMASTER=y
ORESTY_LUANGINXVER='0.10.1rc0'

 

Just updated centmin mod 123.09beta01 to disable ngx_pagespeed NGINX_PAGESPEED=n temporarily until 1.10.33.5 ngx_pagespeed is released. As such with ngx_pagespeed 1.10, will auto switch back from clang to using GCC compilar due to ngx_pagespeed 1.10's higher GCC 4.8 requirements that CentOS 6 doesn't mean

 

yeah right now lua nginx 0.9.20 is default in centmin mod and not compatible with nginx 1.9.11. Lua 0.10.1rc0 fixes that and works on centmin mod 123.09beta01 but switches back from libressl to openssl for nginx

ngx_pagespeed 1.10.33.5 release in 5+ days has fix for nginx 1.9.11 but 1.10 branch requires higher GCC 4.8+ version than available on CentOS 6's GCC 4.4.7 so centmin mod 123.09beta01 has work around already to switch to using devtoolset-3 GCC 4.9.1 for CentOS 6 compiles. CentOS 7 default is GCC 4.8.5 so ok with ngx_pagespeed 1.10

of course for now you can either use nginx 1.9.11 but set persistent config /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc to

Code:

ORESTY_LUANGINX='n'
NGINX_PAGESPEED=n

and recompile nginx via centmin.sh menu option 4

or just stick with nginx 1.9.10 for now

 

probably never as libressl doesn't have the features that openssl 1.0.2+ has which lua 0.10 makes use of 0.10.0 & LibreSSL 2.2.5 ? · Issue #654 · openresty/lua-nginx-module · GitHub

lua nginx 0.10 adds new lua ssl support GitHub - openresty/lua-nginx-module: Embed the Power of Lua into NGINX HTTP servers

 

with lua nginx and ngx_pagespeed disabled on latest 123.09beta01 updated code fresh install seems to have issue with geoip module compiled as dynamic module

Code:

nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "geoip_country" in /usr/local/nginx/conf/geoip.conf:2
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test failed

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 549K Feb 12 07:07 ngx_stream_module.so

edit, looks like /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf isn't being included in nginx.conf or being created

Code:

cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf
cat: /usr/local/nginx/conf/dynamic-modules.conf: No such file or directory

ah on fresh installs, some of the nginx directories don't exist at nginx configure stage

Code:

NGX_DYNAMICCHECK nginx_configure
/svr-setup/nginx-1.9.11
