This project provides standalone nginx and njs (NGINX JavaScript) binaries for any Linux system footnote:nginx binaries are built as standalone static executables, so they works on every Linux system regardless of used libc. (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le), macOS (x86_64), and Windows (x86_64). It also provides a JS library for downloading these binaries (for use in integration tests).

ifndef::npm-readme[]

You can also download the binaries manually from https://jirutka.github.io/nginx-binaries/ or https://github.com/{gh-name}/tree/binaries[binaries] branch (see <>). They are built automatically and periodically using GitHub Actions (see link:.github/workflows/binaries.ymlconfig).

==== NginxBinary / NjsBinary

cacheDir (string):: Path to the cache directory where the repository index and binaries are stored. + Defaults to .cache/nginx-binaries/ relative to the nearest writable node_modules (nearest to process.cwd()) or nginx-binaries/ in the system-preferred temp directory.

cacheMaxAge (number):: Maximum age in minutes for the cached repository index in cacheDir to be considered fresh. If the cached index is stale, the Downloader tries to refresh it before reading. + Defaults to 480 (8 hours).

repoUrl (string):: URL of the repository with binaries. + Caution: After changing repoUrl, you should delete old index.json in cacheDir or disable index cache by setting cacheMaxAge to 0. + Defaults to 'https://jirutka.github.io/nginx-binaries'.

timeout (number):: Fetch response timeout in milliseconds. + Defaults to 10000 (10 seconds).

download (query: <<Query>>, destFilePath?: string) => Promise<string>:: Downloads a binary specified by query and stores it in the cacheDir or in destFilePath, if provided. Returns path to the file. + If the file already exists and the checksums match, it just returns its path. + If multiple versions satisfies the version range, the one with highest version number is selected.

search (query: <<Query>>) => Promise<<<IndexEntry>>[]>:: Returns metadata of available binaries that match the query.

variants (query?: <<Query>>) => Promise<string[]>:: Returns all the available variants matching the query.

versions (query?: <<Query>>) => Promise<string[]>:: Returns all the available versions matching the query.

==== Query

version (?string):: Specify required version as exact version number or a https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges[SemVer version range]. + Example: '1.8.0', '1.8.x', '^1.8.0'

variant (?string):: Specify build variant of the binary (e.g. debug). Defaults to an empty string, i.e. the default variant.

os (?string):: Specify target OS. Defaults to the host OS.

arch (?string):: Specify target CPU architecture. Defaults to the host architecture.

==== IndexEntry

name (string):: Name of the program: 'nginx' or 'njs'.

version (string):: Version of the program.

variant (string):: The build variant of the binary (e.g. debug). An empty string indicates the default variant.

os (string):: OS platform for which this binary was built: 'darwin' (macOS), 'linux' (Linux), or 'win32' (Windows).

arch (string):: CPU architecture for which this binary was built: 'armv7', 'aarch64', 'ppc64le', or 'x86_64'.

filename (string):: Full name of the binary file.

date (string):: Date and time (ISO-8601) at which the binary was built.

size (number):: Size of the binary file in bytes.

checksum (string):: Checksum of the binary file in format <algorithm>:<hash>. + Example: 'sha1:7336b675b26bd67fdda3db18c66fa7f64691e280'

bundledLibs (Object.<string, string>):: A record of all libraries (or modules) statically linked into the binary and the version number. + .Example:

source, js

{ 'openssl': '1.1.1i-r0', 'echo-nginx-module': '0.62',

}

=== Logging

. If https://github.com/Download/anylogger[anylogger] is available and initialized (any adapter has been registered), then: ** all log messages will go through anylogger logger nginx-binaries.

. If https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug[debug] is available, then: ** debug messages will be logged via debug logger nginx-binaries, others (error, warn, info) via console.

. otherwise: ** error, warn, and info messages will be logged via console, debug messages will be discarded.

If none of these options is suitable, you can provide your own logger using setLogger(object):

source, js, subs="+attributes"

import { setLogger } from '{npm-name}'

setLogger({ warn: console.warn, error: console.error, // undefined logging functions will be replaced with no-op

})

== Files Repository

The built binaries are stored in https://github.com/{gh-name}/tree/binaries[binaries] branch of this git repository which is published on https://jirutka.github.io/nginx-binaries/.

The repository contains the following types of files:

• index.{csv,json,html} -- Repository index in CSV, JSON and HTML formats.
• <name>-<version>[-<variant>]-<arch>-<os>[.exe] -- Program binary for particular architecture and OS.
• <name>-<version>[-<variant>]-<arch>-<os>[.exe].sha1 -- SHA-1 checksum of the binary file.
• <name>-<version>[-<variant>]-<arch>-<os>[.exe].sources -- List of all source tarballs and system-provided static libraries from which the binary was built.

See <> for description of <name>, <version> etc. Suffix .exe is used for Windows binaries only.
