njs is an optional nginx module supported by Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 or higher LEMP stacks and is Nginx's answer to Lua nginx module like feature capabilities. But njs is NOT enabled by default on Centmin Mod. See older thread on njs security update and how Centmin Mod integrates njs Nginx - Security - Nginx Security Update For NJS Nginx Module

If you know javascript, you can get creative with how you can leverage njs Nginx module to enhance Nginx server capabilities.

I'm not savy with Javascript, so if any Centmin Mod users are, would be interesting to see what you could/are doing with njs Nginx module
