myguard Debian/Ubuntu Repository – Optimized NGINX, Angie and More

deb.myguard.nl is a free Debian and Ubuntu APT repository of optimized, performance-hardened packages for NGINX, Angie, Apache, Postfix, Dovecot, OpenSSL+QUIC, Rspamd and more — built and maintained by Thijs Eilander, a systems administrator from Amsterdam.

All packages follow standard Debian/Ubuntu conventions so they install and upgrade cleanly alongside your distribution packages. Most builds are fully automated: a new package is built and published as soon as a new upstream version is released.

What makes these packages different?

  • Built against the latest upstream releases, not the version frozen in your distro
  • Compiled with performance flags: -O3 -flto, zlib-ng, jemalloc, kTLS, TCP Fast Open
  • HTTP/3 and QUIC support via OpenSSL+quic — standard distribution builds don’t include this
  • 50+ dynamic modules for NGINX and Angie, selectable per server
  • Security hardening: ModSecurity v3, NAXSI WAF, OWASP CRS, Snuffleupagus for PHP
  • Daily-rebuilt Docker images with the same packages for containerized deployments

Quick install

The easiest way to add the repository is to install the myguard.deb bootstrap package — it configures the APT source, GPG key and pinning automatically:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eilandert/deb.myguard.nl/main/myguard.deb
dpkg -i myguard.deb
apt-get update

See the full setup guide for manual installation and pinning options.
