Why use this repository?

The official Debian and Ubuntu repositories prioritize stability over features. This repository fills the gap for production servers that need both.

// performance

Compiler-optimized binaries

All packages compiled with -O3 -flto flags and linked against jemalloc or mimalloc for improved memory efficiency under load.

// features

Modules not in official repos

HTTP/3 and QUIC for NGINX and Angie, Brotli compression, ModSecurity WAF, OpenSSL+QUIC — features that require custom compilation are included out of the box.

// freshness

Latest upstream versions

Packages track upstream releases rather than Debian stable freezes. Get NGINX mainline, the newest Dovecot, and current Rspamd without backport delays.

// security

Security-first defaults

Packages include php-snuffleupagus, ModSecurity with the Core Rule Set, and modern TLS configurations enabled by default for production hardening.

// containers

Docker & Kubernetes ready

Daily-rebuilt Docker images for NGINX and Angie with all modules included. Designed for containerized and Kubernetes deployments.

// trust

GPG-signed packages

All packages are GPG-signed. The repository uses modern signed-by APT configuration for verified, tamper-proof delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this repository.

What makes these packages different from official Debian/Ubuntu packages?
The official Debian repositories freeze package versions for stability. This repository builds packages from the latest upstream releases and compiles them with -O3 -flto compiler flags, includes extra modules (such as HTTP/3 QUIC for NGINX), and ships features not available in official repos.
Is NGINX compiled with HTTP/3 and QUIC support?
Yes. The NGINX packages here are compiled against OpenSSL+QUIC, enabling HTTP/3 support. This requires custom compilation and is not available in the official Debian or Ubuntu NGINX packages. The Angie packages also include HTTP/3 support.
What is Angie and how does it compare to NGINX?
Angie is a fork of NGINX maintained by former NGINX core developers. It’s a drop-in replacement that adds native ACME (Let’s Encrypt) support without needing Certbot, extended Prometheus metrics, and other improvements. Both are available in this repository.
Will installing packages from this repo break my system?
No. APT pinning (configured automatically when using myguard.deb) ensures packages from this repository take priority only where intentionally installed. Standard Debian/Ubuntu packages are not affected.
Is this repository free to use?
Yes, completely free with no registration required. If you find it useful, a donation via PayPal (nomad @ paranoid.nl) helps cover server costs. Bug reports and contributions are welcome on GitHub.
