Hello.

Previously we built nginx with all modules, except those that required  
extra libraries. With dynamic modules it is possible to build them as  
the separate packages and nginx main package will not have extra  
dependences.

For nginx 1.9.12 we build additional packages with xslt, image-filter  
and geoip modules. It is possible to install, for example, image filter  
module on RHEL/CentOS with command:

% yum install nginx-module-image-filter

or on Ubuntu/Debian with command:

% apt-get install nginx-module-image-filter

then to enable module it is necessary add load\_module directive:

```
load_module modules/ngx_http_image_filter_module.so;

```

to the main section of the nginx.conf

Please test these modules, any feedback will be helpful.

Hello Sergey,

## Great news! :o) Would it possible to add a file in some conf.d containing the load\_module directive so a package management system could automatically configure nginx to automatically load the module on the next reload? That is standard practice for some other technologies.

It has no sense as nginx has no conditional configuration like  
if(some module)  
module\_directive1  
module\_directive2  
etc.

Module specific directives will result in error on nginx start if there  
will be no loaded module.

Hello,

We’ve just published the official packages for the 1.9.13 release and  
two more dynamic module packages were added on all supported platforms:

- perl, nginx-module-perl
- njs, nginx-module-njs

Enjoy,
