imagetools-nginx

Tools to build a custom nginx package with image processing tools built in.

The output of this tool has these differences to the stable nginx.org package:

• ngx_http_image_filter support
• ngx_small_light support

Installing this version of nginx

Copy an appropriate release locally, and install it with dpkg -i <filename>.

Usage

Prerequisites:

• Vagrant 1.5 (for basebox autoloading)
• vagrant-librarian-puppet (which can be installed by running vagrant plugin install vagrant-librarian-puppet, and requires Puppet, which can be installed with bundle install)

To build the nginx package:

vagrant up                             # Create the VM
vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant && make"   # Log in to the VM and build the package

After this is complete, the build directory will contain two nginx .deb files, one with debug enabled and one without (indicated in the name). We release/deploy the latter of the two, currently by manually creating a GitHub release.
