Compiling Dynamic Modules for NGINX Plus NGINX Plus Release R11 introduces binary compatibility for dynamic modules. This article describes the build process, explaining how to compile third‑party NGINX modules so that they can be used in the NGINX Plus product. NGINX Modules Overview NGINX modules are written in C and conform to the API described in Extending NGINX on the NGINX Wiki. There is a large ecosystem of third‑party modules, ranging from language interpreters to security solutions, and some of these are included and supported in NGINX Plus. Other third‑party modules, and modules that you have created yourself, need to be compiled independently and loaded into NGINX Plus at runtime. You can compile these modules for use with NGINX Plus by building them against the open source NGINX software as described below: Obtain the matching open source NGINX release Obtain the module sources, and update the config [ more… ]

Announcing NGINX Plus R11 We are excited to announce the availability of NGINX Plus Release 11 (R11). With this release we are providing a number of new features in NGINX Plus to make the product easier to extend and customize, and to support an even broader range of deployments. NGINX Plus R11 introduces binary compatibility for dynamic modules. This means that dynamic modules that have been compiled against the open source NGINX software can be loaded into NGINX Plus. You can leverage the large number of third‑party NGINX modules to extend and add functionality to NGINX Plus, drawing from a range of open source and commercially produced modules. Developers can create custom extensions, add‑ons, and new products based on the supported NGINX Plus core. NGINX Plus R11 also adds a number of other enhancements: Improved TCP/UDP load balancing – New features include SSL server name routing, new logging functionality, additional variables, and [ more… ]
