Important: this page is meant for users of the Plesk control panel. If you are interested in building a panel-less web server powered by NGINX, check out the main NGINX Extras page instead.
The NGINX Extras is our enormous collection of dynamic NGINX module packages.
Users of the Plesk control panel may install Plesk-compatible NGINX module packages from our repository.
Our Plesk-compatible NGINX module packages allow you to expand the base NGINX which was shipped with Plesk from a simple webserver to a modern application stack with support of:
Supported operating systems are CentOS/RHEL 7 and 8.
NGINX Extras for Plesk features:
sudo yum -y install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm
Once the repository configuration is installed, activate your subscription to the GetPageSpeed repository.
Subscribed? Proceed with installing the modules to build your ultimate high-performance web stack.
Thanks to the nature of dynamic modules, you can install just the modules you want instead of using bloatware NGINX installation.
For example, to install the Brotli module for NGINX in Plesk, run:
sudo yum -y install sw-nginx-module-nbr
Then follow the installation prompt to enable it:
sudo plesk sbin nginx_modules_ctl --enable brotli
To list available modules for installation, run:
sudo yum list available | grep sw-nginx-module
With the notable exception of the Brotli module, installing and enabling a module can be done with:
sudo yum -y install sw-nginx-module-<handle>
sudo plesk sbin nginx_modules_ctl --enable <handle>
For example, to install the Security Headers module, you may run:
sudo yum -y install sw-nginx-module-security-headers
sudo plesk sbin nginx_modules_ctl --enable security-headers
A list of some of the most interesting module packages follows. In the tables below a package’s name is hyperlinked with either a relevant tutorial by GetPageSpeed, when available, or project’s homepage. While following instructions on those pages, be sure to install packages with the sw- prefix, and use plesk sbin nginx_modules_ctl --enable ... command which will be displayed after installation for enabling, instead of manually editing nginx.conf:
| Package Name | Description |
|---|---|
| sw-nginx-module-geoip2 | GeoIP2 module for NGINX |
| sw-nginx-module-rtmp | NGINX RTMP module |
