freenginx-custom

Iamdoubz custom freenginx config for Ubuntu 22.04. I was tired of forgetting what I used to compile freenginx so I made my own repo.

Enhancements

Support for H3/QUIC
Brotli compression
GeoIP2 (MaxMind)
Headers-More
Quantum cryptography
debug

Dependencies

There are quite a few dependencies to install. The main ones being:

build-essential
git
curl
wget
cmake
libmaxminddb
And probably others...

How to download

Please use the provided script freenginx.sh. Make sure to make it executable first sudo chmod +x freenginx.sh. Then run it with ./freenginx.sh.

Make a backup of your existing binary

Type which nginx and make a copy i.e. sudo cp /usr/sbin/nginx /usr/sbin/nginx_apt. NOTE: if you have not installed nginx, you do not have to do this step. NOTE: this script for freenginx is built as a drop in replacement for nginx.

Install newly compiled binary

cd /path/to/buildroot/nginx-release-1.28.0
sudo make install
Check nginx sudo nginx -t
Reload nginx sudo nginx -s reload
Verify new version sudo nginx -v should output nginx version: freenginx/1.28.0 (w/GeoIP2,Brotli,H3,Headers-More,Quantum,debug)
