Third-Party Modules#

In addition to our own dynamic modules for Angie and Angie PRO, we collect and publish packages for a number of popular nginx-compatible third-party modules, developed outside our company, in our repository.

Installation and Configuration#

Third-party module packages are installed from our repository just like our own packages:

To use the installed module in configuration, load it using the load_module directive in the main context:

load_module modules/<module_name>.so;

Tip

Package names and the modules themselves in the configuration have the following prefixes:

Angie: angie-module-<module_name>
Angie PRO: angie-pro-module-<module_name>
