This is a work in progress.

Building nginx with the nginx-rtmp module

The resulting deb packages have been included with this role. The instructions below are only useful should you wish to build your own.

Dependencies

Make sure you have the source repositories configured. Your sources.list file should look somewhat like this:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main

Install the build dependencies and some packages we'll need.

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep nginx
apt-get install git fakeroot vim devscripts

Get the sources

Fetch the nginx package source into your local build directory.

mkdir -p /usr/src/nginx-rtmp/
cd /usr/src/nginx-rtmp/
apt-get source nginx

Go to the modules directory, and fetch the nginx-rtmp module and go back to the root of the package.

cd nginx-*/debian/modules/
git clone https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git
cd ../../

Add the module to the build

Edit the debian/rules file and add the relevant --add-module option to the extras_configure_flags section. It should look somewhat like this.

extras_configure_flags := \
                        $(common_configure_flags) \
                        --with-http_addition_module \
                        --with-http_dav_module \
                        --with-http_flv_module \
                        --with-http_geoip_module \
                        --with-http_gzip_static_module \
                        --with-http_image_filter_module \
                        --with-http_mp4_module \
                        --with-http_perl_module \
                        --with-http_random_index_module \
                        --with-http_secure_link_module \
                        --with-http_spdy_module \
                        --with-http_sub_module \
                        --with-http_xslt_module \
                        --with-mail \
                        --with-mail_ssl_module \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/headers-more-nginx-module \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-auth-pam \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-cache-purge \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-dav-ext-module \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-development-kit \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-echo \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/ngx-fancyindex \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-http-push \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-lua \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-upload-progress \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-upstream-fair \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/ngx_http_substitutions_filter_module \
                        --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-rtmp-module

Build and install the package

Before building the package, you will need to update the changelog and make a custom version of the package.

DEBFULLNAME=Me DEBEMAIL=builder@example.com dch --nmu

Make the entry look somewhat like the one below, pay attention to the version number.

nginx (1.6.2-5+deb8u4-rtmp1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Add nginx-rtmp module

 -- Me <builder@example.com>  Sun, 12 Mar 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Build the package.

dpkg-buildpackage -b

If you now install the resulting nginx-common and nginx-extras packages, you should be all set.
