# nginx-build

`nginx-build` - provides a command to build nginx seamlessly.

![gif](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cubicdaiya/nginx-build/master/images/nginx-build.gif)

## Requirements

* [git](https://git-scm.com/) and [hg](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/) for downloading 3rd party modules
* [patch](https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/patch/) for applying patch to nginx

## Build Support

* [nginx](https://nginx.org/)
* [OpenResty](https://openresty.org/)
* [freenginx](https://freenginx.org/)

## Installation

```bash
go install github.com/cubicdaiya/nginx-build@latest
```

## Quick Start

```console
nginx-build -d work
```

## Custom Configuration

`nginx-build` provides a mechanism for customizing configuration for building nginx.

### Configuration for building nginx

Prepare a configure script like the following.

```bash
#!/bin/sh

./configure \
--sbin-path=/usr/sbin/nginx \
--conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
```

Give this file to `nginx-build` with `-c`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -c configure.example
```

#### About `--add-module` and `--add-dynamic-module`

`nginx-build` allows to use `--add-module`.

```bash
$ nginx-build \
-d work \
--add-module=/path/to/ngx_http_hello_world
```

Also, `nginx-build` allows to use `--add-dynamic-module`.

```bash
$ nginx-build \
-d work \
--add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_http_hello_world
```

### Embedding zlib statically

Give `-zlib` to `nginx-build`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -zlib
```

`-zlibversion` is an option to set a version of zlib.

### Embedding PCRE statically

Give `-pcre` to `nginx-build`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -pcre
```

`-pcreversion` is an option to set a version of PCRE.

### Embedding OpenSSL statically

Give `-openssl` to `nginx-build`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -openssl
```

`-opensslversion` is an option to set a version of OpenSSL.

### Embedding LibreSSL statically

Give `-libressl` to `nginx-build`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -libressl
```

`-libresslversion` is an option to set a version of LibreSSL.

### Embedding 3rd-party modules

`nginx-build` provides a mechanism for embedding 3rd-party modules.
Prepare a json file below.

```ini
[
{
"name": "ngx_http_hello_world",
"form": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/cubicdaiya/ngx_http_hello_world"
}
]
```

Give this file to `nginx-build` with `-m`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -m modules.json.example
```

#### Embedding 3rd-party module dynamically

Give `true` to `dynamic`.

```ini
[
{
"name": "ngx_http_hello_world",
"form": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/cubicdaiya/ngx_http_hello_world",
"dynamic": true
}
]
```

#### Provision for 3rd-party module

There are some 3rd-party modules expected provision. `nginx-build` provides the options such as `shprov` and `shprovdir` for this problem.
There is the example configuration below.

```ini
[
{
"name": "njs/nginx",
"form": "hg",
"url": "https://hg.nginx.org/njs",
"shprov": "./configure && make",
"shprovdir": ".."
}
]
```

## Applying patch before building nginx

`nginx-build` provides the options such as `-patch` and `-patch-opt` for applying patch to nginx.

```console
nginx-build \
-d work \
-patch something.patch \
-patch-opt "-p1"
```

## Idempotent build

`nginx-build` supports a certain level of idempotent build of nginx.
If you want to ensure a build of nginx idempotent and do not want to build nginx as same as already installed nginx,
give `-idempotent` to `nginx-build`.

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -idempotent
```

`-idempotent` ensures an idempotent by checking the software versions below.

* nginx
* PCRE
* zlib
* OpenSSL

On the other hand, `-idempotent` does not cover versions of 3rd party modules and dynamic linked libraries.

## Build OpenResty

`nginx-build` supports to build [OpenResty](https://openresty.org/).

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -openresty -pcre -openssl
```

If you don't install PCRE and OpenSSL on your system, it is required to add the option `-pcre` and `-openssl`.

And there is the limitation for the support of OpenResty.
`nginx-build` does not allow to use OpenResty's unique configure options directly.
If you want to use OpenResty's unique configure option, [Configuration for building nginx](#configuration-for-building-nginx) is helpful.

## Build freenginx

`nginx-build` supports to build [freenginx](https://freenginx.org/).

```bash
$ nginx-build -d work -freenginx -openssl
```

If you don't install OpenSSL on your system, it is required to add the option `-openssl`.
