Installing extra modules

[zacharynevin]

How would I install extra modules. For example, I want to install the http_geoip module on top of this (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_geoip_module.html).

I tried:

RUN cd / \
  && ./configure --with-http_geoip_module

But that threw an error saying ./configure: not found

This won't work, as configure is a part of NginX/Openresty sources, and source files don't get included into the resulting image: they are removed after compilation. To add another module, you'll need to modify the Dockerfile(s) and add the module here.

Probably the best option is to fork this repo and make any modifications you need. I try to keep ficusio/openresty as small as possible. But, if the resulting increase in the image size is negligible, I can add http_geoip_module into this repo.

Could you please try to add --with-http_geoip_module into the alpine/Dockerfile, build the image and see what "virtual size" Docker reports when you run docker images?

I made a pull request for this, with the nginx stub status module that I think would be useful to include: #19
