Hi Dan,

Debian has deprecated it last januari, I just read it in their changelog while syncing the bookworm package to my package. The issue is described here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025763

There is one binary now, with all non-dynamic modules being builtin. The nginx-light -core -extras -full are converted to metapackages as they all have the same binary now. Everything should continue to work.

I have synced their package to mine, it’s not on the default repo yet but will be with a new nginx release. You can test it with
echo “deb http://edge.deb.myguard.nl:8888 jammy main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edge.deb.myguard.nl.list
apt update && apt upgrade

If there are problems with this build please let me know ;-)

[Thijs Eilander]

No, currently I have no plans. Seems like an awful lot of work ;-) Too much can go wrong

Ondrej’s PPA is fine, I use it myself.

[Thijs Eilander]

I get tired of Launchpad, I sent the same package 3 times and got 3 different compile errors back :-)

One more try I guess

[Thijs Eilander]

I have some troubles with the lua stuff, will try again later

ngx_devel_kit was already in
tcp_proxy is not a module but a patch, has to be built in
ngx_supervisord is too old (>13 years) and needs patching, has to be built in

Added in the next build:
kyprizel/testcookie-nginx-module
openresty/xss-nginx-module
openresty/nginx-eval-module
LeComptoirDesPharmacies/nginx-http-user-agent
marxangels/nginx-http-concat
RekGRpth/nginx-access-plus
simon987/ngx_http_js_challenge_module
nginx-modules/ngx_http_hmac_secure_link_module

The rest of the modules will have to wait for next time :) my bed is calling me

[Thijs Eilander]

I was thinking, maybe we can make an extra package, nginx-stripped or nginx-minimal, which is completly stripped of everything.

DOn’t know yet if I would do it, depends on if the gain is worth the energy

[Thijs Eilander]

Only the NGINX related packages I think.

I’ll have to add a command to each package buildscript to push the source-package to Launchpad and wait for it to build, but Launchpad does some weird things sometimes so I cannot garantuee something will be build, or something will be build after 10 hours or so, thats why I started to host my own repo. (and the fact that I needed to host for debian too)

[Thijs Eilander]

oh I thought I removed all the openssh stuff in jammy.

should be gone now, after apt update

[Thijs Eilander]

well, I don’t maintain openssh anymore ;-) Since it can now do what I wanted by default.

[Thijs Eilander]

Ooh Launchpad, yeah I cleaned it out last night. Need to repopulate that again but my OpenSSL builds are rejected somehow

Didn’t know anybody is still using Launchpad for my repo :) Most people are on my own repo. Thanks for reminding me

[Thijs Eilander]

yes, I have core. BUt I think I had it the other way around, core seems heavier

differences:

light_configure_flags := \
$(common_configure_flags) \
–with-http_sub_module \
–without-http_browser_module \
–without-http_geo_module \
–without-http_limit_req_module \
–without-http_limit_conn_module \
–without-http_memcached_module \
–without-http_referer_module \
–without-http_split_clients_module \
–without-http_userid_module

core_configure_flags := \
$(common_configure_flags) \
–with-http_sub_module \
–with-http_stub_status_module
# –without-http_geo_module

[Thijs Eilander]

You can try to install nginx-core, it should be lighter than light ;-)

[Thijs Eilander]

This should be the correct output, at least on Bookworm

# nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.25.2 (https://deb.myguard.nl/nginx-modules/)
built with OpenSSL 3.0.11+quic 19 Sep 2023

[Thijs Eilander]

I have to look what the default is in the official debian package, I don’t really want to remove too much defaults from the official package.

I’ll try to look at it soon

[Thijs Eilander]

That’s is strange, what distribution are you using?

Also, did you make by any change an exception for OpenSSL in apt while that was broken?

[Thijs Eilander]

There was something wrong with caching and stuff, I didn’t figure it out quick enough so no more caching done by NGINX -)
