[solved] How to enable nginx + Brotli on Arch?

pancibule · 2019-03-10 15:36:46

Hi,
I just installed nginx + nginx-mod-brotli:

$ pacman -Qe | grep "nginx"
nginx 1.14.2-1
nginx-mod-brotli 1:0.1.2-4

nginx + gzip compression works fine. However, I can't enable Brotli compression. The official docs mention the

load_module

directive, but I can't find the installed module on my disk.

Where is "nginx-mod-brotli" installed and how can I tell the nginx.conf to use it?

pacman -Sl nginx-mod-brotli

EDIT: did you even read the page you linked to? It's very short. It gives you the full lines verbatim that you need to add to your config.

EDIT: Found the files. That was all I asked for:

load_module "/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so";
load_module "/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so";

It should work with relative paths as described in the link. But in either case please remember to mark your thread as SOLVED.

No, it didn't work. nginx's output was that it can't find these modules.
