nginx standalone binaries

This project provides standalone nginx binaries for any Linux system ^[1] (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le), macOS (x86_64), and Windows (x86_64).

This is forked from https://github.com/jirutka/nginx-binaries with fastcgi support instead of njs.

You can also download the binaries manually from https://hallme.github.io/nginx-binaries/ or binaries branch (see [Files Repository]). They are built automatically and periodically using GitHub Actions (see config).

Since nginx 1.22.0, the stable and mainline versions of nginx include the latest version of njs available at the time of building. The old stable versions of nginx include the latest minor (i.e. x.Y.z) version of njs released prior to the release of a new stable nginx (and the latest patch version available at the time of building). That is, it’s the same as in NGINX’s own packages.

3rd Party Modules:

• echo-nginx-module

• headers-more-nginx-module

• ngx_devel_kit

• set-misc-nginx-module

• kjdev/nginx-auth-jwt (since 1.22.1, 1.23.4, and 1.24.0; except Windows binaries)

• nginx-keyval (since 1.22.1, 1.23.4, and 1.24.0; except Windows binaries)

nginx binaries include the latest version of the third-party modules available at the time of building.

---

1. nginx binaries are built as standalone static executables, so they works on every Linux system regardless of used libc.

2. Modules that are provided by NGINX but released separately.

3. njs is not supported on Windows, see nginx/njs#320
