Nginx3rdPartyModules
Third Party Modules
These modules are not officially supported. Nevertheless many of them may prove useful to many people. Enjoy at your own risk.
Compiling third party modules
Modules are typically added by compiling them along with the Nginx source.
From the Nginx source directory, type:
./configure --add-module=/path/to/module1/source \
--add-module=/path/to/module2/source
You can use as many --add-module arguments as needed.
Be aware that some modules may require additional libraries to be installed on your system.
Writing your own module
Evan Miller has written the definitive guide to Nginx module development. But some parts of it are a little out of date. You've been warned.
