`nginx:mainline` module stream is missing

[mb-shorai]

Hi, I'm following https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/web/nginx-mainline/#installing-the-repository-enabling-the-module and I cannot enable the mainline stream:

I've found https://github.com/rocky-linux/documentation/issues/605, but epel-release is already there. Am I missing something?

Hello @mb-shorai and welcome!

I believe that this procedure was originally written for 8. At the time, an "nginx:mainline" module existed, however that isn't the case any longer. For Rocky Linux 9, your only option is nginx 1.22, which is the default.

Ah, thanks @sspencerwire! Should I leave this issue open in such case?

Ah, thanks @sspencerwire! Should I leave this issue open in such case?

I think it is fine to leave this open for now. I reached out to the original author and I believe he will rewrite it. If not, I'll take a stab at refreshing the document so that it is up-to-date. Thank you!

@EzequielBruni Here is the issue that prompted the call for a rewrite of this procedure. If you don't have time to get it done, I'll attempt it. I understand that you have scheduling issues to contend with. :-)

@mb-shorai I believe this issue is resolved with recent additions to the used procedure in the last few months. If not, please open another issue. Thank you!

[mb-shorai]

It's resolved indeed, thanks!
