NGINX Developer Kit

The NGINX Developer Kit (NDK) module makes it easier for module developers to develop NGINX modules.

The NDK module is also a prerequisite for Encrypted Session, Lua, and Set-Misc modules.

Installation

Check the Technical Specifications page to verify that the module is supported by your operating system.

Install the NDK module package nginx-plus-module-ndk.

For Amazon Linux 2, CentOS, Oracle Linux, and RHEL:

yum install nginx-plus-module-ndk

For Amazon Linux 2023, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux:

dnf install nginx-plus-module-ndk

For Debian and Ubuntu:

apt-get install nginx-plus-module-ndk

For SLES:

zypper install nginx-plus-module-ndk

For Alpine:

apk add nginx-plus-module-ndk

For FreeBSD:

pkg install nginx-plus-module-ndk

After installation you will need to enable and configure the module in F5 NGINX Plus configuration file nginx.conf.

Enable dynamic loading of the module with the load_module directive specified in the top-level (“main”) context:
```
load_module modules/ndk_http_module.so;
```
Perform additional configuration as required by the module.
Test the configuration and reload NGINX Plus to enable the module:
```
nginx -t && nginx -s reload
```
