Core Components

Everything used to build this software.

  • NGINX : This is the core of it all. Contains support for HTTP/3 and QUIC connections.
  • OpenSSL : Alternatively called “quictls”, this fork is based on the latest OpenSSL with QUIC implementations. Required for this build of NGINX.
  • PCRE2 : Enables regular expression support for NGINX.
  • Zlib : Standard compression method.
  • Brotli : An improved compression method over GZip (zlib). All major browsers currently support Brotli. There is little need for GZip, however, the latest version is included for priority over system installed zlib package.
  • Dev kit : Extends NGINX functionality. Required by Set Misc.
  • Set Misc : Enables the use of set_xxx directives. These are required for services like Authelia.
  • NGINX JS : Enables the use of server-side JavaScript.
  • ModSecurity : Web application firewall. You must have the core software libmodsecurity installed on your host.
