Comments on How to Install Nginx with Brotli Compression on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

It works. Thanks for sharing detailed guidelines. However, instead of Google brotli repo, I've used https://github.com/eustas/ngx_brotli which is basically a fork of Google's. Google's repo is unmaintained for a while.

Nice guide!!! Worked like a charme to me. But, i have 1 question: Now if I want to add compatibility with BoringSSL, would it just repeat the compile process?

 when i run command "sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us

"

this error come

How to Install Nginx with Brotli Compression on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

why are u telling later debian shit ???

Go to the '/usr/local/src/nginx-*' directory and edit the debian 'rules' configuration.

so how can i delete all steps...clean up all and try 20 min again

Because Ubuntu is a Debian based distribution and used .deb (Debian) packages, therefore you have to edit the Debian rules file to build it. Maybe inform yourself first before you claim some writes sh... 

Thanks so much for thorough guide Muhammad. Much better than google brotli repo readme.md. I would like to know is it safe if I delete any unnecessary (built .deb or nginx source) stuff after installing packages???
