I hope we will see Nginx-1.9.0 in CB 2.0 because 1.9 is going to bring us http/2 support :cool:
check out the roadmap.
 
Not sure if they going to bring it to CB 2 anytime soon because it's "mainline" and they always had the "stable" line in custombuild.
However it would be nice if we had an option to use it. :)
For now there is not so much difference with 1.8, once they have http/2 implemented that will change.

nginx-1.9.5 mainline version has been released, featuring experimental HTTP/2 module. :D :cool:
http://nginx.org

Can we get this in Custombuild please? Maybe as an option (not default yet) ?
 
Upgraded to 1.9.11 // nginx_mainline is added into versions.txt by custombuild developers and it already exists on directadmin's files servers.


Run this code to get a script to install nginx_mainline:


Code: 
touch /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build_nginx-custom
chmod 755 /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build_nginx-custom
vi /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build_nginx-custom


Press "Insert" and paste the following content:


Code: 
#!/bin/bash
NGINX_VER=1.9.11
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
cat custom_versions.txt | grep -Ev "^nginx:|^$" > custom_versions.txt.new
mv -f custom_versions.txt.new custom_versions.txt
echo "nginx:${NGINX_VER}:" >> custom_versions.txt
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-${NGINX_VER}.tar.gz -O nginx-${NGINX_VER}.tar.gz
./build update
./build nginx


Press "Escape" then ":x" and "Enter" to save and exit.


To get nginx mainline installed


Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build_nginx-custom

In the NGINX 1.9.x branch, they have completely removed the SPDY module from the codebase and replaced it with the HTTP/2 module. After moving to 1.9.5, you can no longer configure NGINX to use SPDY. If you would like to keep using SPDY, it will continue to be supported in the NGINX 1.8.x branch.

I was reading about that, I'm going to switch to http2 and drop spdy support.
It looks like you just have to change spdy to http2 and set the directives.
I think I know what I have to do but still unsure.
It might be tricky to upgrade.
I also have to check first if all modules that i'm using are supported. I will wait until they release php 7 anyway.
 
smtalk ye but nginx got a different take on mainline version
this is taken from nginx announcement themself:


How Branch Renumbering Works
The branch renumbering is part of our annual checkpoint process where we fork off a “stable” (no new features) branch from the “mainline” (feature development) branch. NGINX 1.8 was forked as the new stable branch from the 1.7 mainline branch, and the 1.7 branch is renumbered to 1.9. We are no longer supporting 1.6 (the former stable branch) or doing development in 1.7.

In NGINX nomenclature, stable (now version 1.8) means that the feature set is fixed; only critical bug fixes are committed to that branch. Stable does not necessarily mean more reliable or more bug-free. In fact, the mainline branch (now 1.9) is generally regarded as more reliable because we commit a wider range of bug fixes to it, not just the critical fixes merged into the stable branch. On the other hand, any changes to the stable branch are very unlikely to affect the operation of third-party modules, whereas in the mainline branch the addition of new features might do so.
To get a full view of how we do our branch renumbering (complete with pictures), check out last year’s post.
 
@ zEitEr

Thanks for this method. I have copied the nginx configure.conf from CB to the Custom folder to add SPDY. Can i now just remove the nginx config from the Custom folder in Custombuild?
 
have anyone tried rebuilding nginx with http 2 module? any particular instruction since it fails to recompile on my end

Yes, i have been using it now with HTTP/2.0. You need to copy:

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/nginx/configure.conf to /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/nginx/.

And then add the http v2 module like described here;

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_v2_module.html

--with-http_v2_module
 
Since nginx_mainline is added into versions.txt by Custombuild developers and it already exists on directadmin's files servers:

Code: 
[root@server custombuild]# grep mainline versions.txt
nginx_mainline:1.9.9:50fdfa08e93ead7a111cba5a5f5735af

there is no more need to download it manually. It will be download automatically with
Code: 
./build nginx
from a selected mirror, e.g.:

http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/nginx-1.9.9.tar.gz

Just to make sure you still have the desired version in custom_versions.txt:

Code: 
[root@server custombuild]# cat custom_versions.txt
nginx:1.9.9:

What needs to be done for Nginx as a reverse proxy with apache?

I want to upgrade from Nginx 1.8 to 1.9 and enable HTTP/2 with a fallback to SPDY with a fallback to HTTP/1.
