NGINX Homebrew Tap

This tap is designed specifically for a custom build of NGINX with more module options.

How do I install these formule (NGINX Modules)?

Once the tap is installed, you can install nginx-full with optional additional modules:

brew tap ironclad/brew
brew install openresty

There is also a debug version of openresty for hard-core developers:

brew install openresty-debug

If you already installed OpenResty from homebrew/nginx, please run the following command first:

brew untap homebrew/nginx

For a list of available configuration options run:

brew options openresty

What about conflicts?

You are free to install this version alongside a current install of NGINX from Homebrew/homebrew if you wish. However, they cannot be linked at the same time. To switch between them use brew's built in linking system.

brew unlink nginx
brew link openresty

Where is the configuration file for openresty?

You can find the configuration files for openresty under $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/openresty/ (The default value of $HOMEBREW_PREFIX is /usr/local and you can check the value of $HOMEBREW_PREFIX with brew --config command).
