Load dynamic modules and enable Brotli

[pramathesh]

Hi,

I just googled and reached your git. Trying to learn backend and sysadmin. I wanted to understand if I were to load a dynamic module. I would just go ahead and uncomment the module and it gets activated, right?

Looking forward for 1.13.9 :)

PS: The Brotli compression is enabled automagically right? No need to edit the nginx conf file? I'm a little confused as I'm also seeing gzip set to 'ON' in the conf file. Could you please clarify?

Yes, also you will see instructions after installing submodule

The Brotli compression is enabled automagically right?

No

Oh, so I've to install the sub-module and then uncomment the module which needs to be activated? Any guide on how to install a sub-module. Guessing the process will the same for every other module moving on that I need to activate.

Apologies if I come across as naive, I'm trying to learn :)

How do I enable Brotli?

EDIT:

Just figured that it is a simple apt-install process for the submodules and then uncomment and reload nginx to have it functioning. Now where will I get the apt-install 'module-names' from? Also, which modules would you recommend as a must have for WooCommerce/WP Setup?

Check packages names at the bottom of the page:

Turns out I only need Brotli and Pagespeed for my usage. Also, I'm facing an error 'nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "brotli_static" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:59'

Could you please help me resolve this, it seems this has been discussed earlier too but it isn't working for me atm.

PS: I know this is a cardinal sin, but any ETA for the latest version which supports http2_push

EDIT: nginx: [emerg] "deny" directive FileCachePath must be set, even for standby in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:121 Getting this error after setting pagespeed on;

load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;
# ngx_brotli static module - used to serve pre-compressed files.
# Both ngx_brotli modules could be used separately, but part of nginx-module-brotli package
load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so;

That fixed it! Thank you once again for being so patient and helping me learn along the way. I noticed the link to the project for bortli mentioned on your launchpad page hasn't been updated well over a year. I've found another project that gets updated very frequently and can be found here, are these the same as the ones used in your project or differnt things?

https://github.com/eustas/ngx_brotli

PS: Looking forward to the newest version of NGINX Also, do you recommend any configuration settings for WordPress for NGINX?

[cryptofuture]

Bundle already use https://github.com/eustas/ngx_brotli Launchpad page might be not updated. IDK I didn't used WP in years. All software is just static generated pages and node applications for me most of the time.

Sweet! The launchpad version still directs to ngx_google just typing this out here for anyone who check this in the future.

Thank You once again :)
