New package options for the NGINX native module for the Next-Gen WAF
We have introduced new package options for the dynamic NGINX module for the Next-Gen WAF to allow customers more detailed control over upgrades to NGINX. The new package options are:
| NGINX model | Module package name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stable NGINX Open Source | nginx-module-fastly-nxs | This package is compiled with the Stable (even numbered) NGINX releases. |
| Mainline NGINX Open Source | nginx-module-fastly-nxm | This package is compiled with the Mainline (odd numbered) NGINX releases. |
| Distribution-provided NGINX Open Source | nginx-module-fastly-nxd | This package is compiled with the distribution-provided releases rather than releases provided by nginx.org. |
| NGINX Plus | nginx-module-fastly-nxp | This package is compiled with NGINX Plus releases. |
IMPORTANT: If you are using SELinux and you are switching from nginx-module-sigsci packages to nginx-module-fastly packages, you will need to update your SELinux policy.
IMPORTANT: We will continue to support the existing dynamic NGINX native package options named nginx-module-sigsci-nxo and nginx-module-sigsci-nxp.
For more information about installing the new packages, check out our Installing the NGINX dynamic module guide.
