fetch latest stable NGINX source
v=1.26.2 wget https://nginx.org/download/nginx-$v.tar.gz wget https://nginx.org/download/nginx-$v.tar.gz.asc
import the appropriate key
wget https://nginx.org/keys/arut.key wget https://nginx.org/keys/pluknet.key wget https://nginx.org/keys/sb.key wget https://nginx.org/keys/thresh.key gpg1 --import arut.key gpg1 --import pluknet.key gpg1 --import sb.key gpg1 --import thresh.key gpg1 --verify nginx-$v.tar.gz.asc
prepare modules e.g. brotli
extract and build
tar xzf nginx-$v.tar.gz cd nginx-$v/
we want NGINX to be available in our known PATH and MANPATH.
we absolutely need that /etc/nginx/ folder as many files get deployed there.

make sure you’ve got those
adding module in ../ngx_brotli + ngx_brotli was configured Configuration summary + using system PCRE2 library + using system OpenSSL library + using system zlib library
echo $MAKEFLAGS make > ../nginx.log && echo BUILT make install which nginx nginx -V ls -alF /etc/nginx/ ls -alF /var/log/nginx/ mkdir /etc/nginx/modules/ mkdir /etc/nginx/conf.d/
this is how we do it - that’s up to you.
mkdir -p /var/www/
mv /usr/local/html/ /var/www/
rm -f /var/www/html/*
echo '<p>nothing here' > /var/www/html/index.html
and don’t forget to setup log rotation accordingly, either with logrotage –or– with newsyslog.
you can now proceed with the setup
for ngx_http_xslt_module
#slackpkg install libxml2 libxslt
