However, the Amazon Linux 2023's Nginx doesn't have them.

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

My team has been using Nginx geo and geoIP heavily to reroute and set additional and complicated routes of Nginx. We would really like to see them back in Amazon Linux 2023.

Thanks.

Same issue here. Any ETA?

[bdenholm1]

We also would like this package (nginx-mod-http-geoip) reinstated as it is preventing us moving to AL2023.

[katzueno]

Ping. I would still like this ngx_http_geo_module Nginx module before one of my client needs to move from Amazon Linux 2 to 2023.

And a year later since this issue was opened I stumble on it while seting up server for production.

We should modify this repo's readme Benefits of Amazon Linux 2023 - you will have to build everything your self manually
