I use homebrew to install nginx, and how to add 3rd modules?

Question

I brew install nginx on my mac, but I don't know where is the configure file, and I use 'brew install nginx --add-module=xxxx' to add modules is not working... please help!!!

Answer 1

The nginx-full brew formula has a number of options that enables you to install 3rd party modules.

See the output of brew info nginx-full.

E.g. the HttpHeadersMoreModule can be installed with the command

brew install nginx-full --with-headers-more-module

Answer 2

At this time (April 2018) nginx-full is deprecated by default. To install 3rd party modules:

1. brew tap denji/nginx
2. brew install nginx-full --with-nchan-module (or some other modules)

Answer 3

Right now, the current method for adding modules is to install by url.

brew install https://raw.github.com/marcqualie/homebrew-nginx/master/nginx.rb
