How to compile a dynamic nginx module for Ubuntu 18.04
# Install dependencies that nginx was originally compiled with
sudo apt install libperl-dev libgeoip-dev libgd-dev
# Get the nginx source
wget https://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.14.0.tar.gz
tar zxf nginx-1.14.0.tar.gz
# Get the module source
wget https://github.com/fdintino/nginx-upload-module/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
# Find the args the existing nginx was compiled with, use these later in the config line
nginx -V
# If you don't do this, you'll get an error when you try to use the module like so:
# module "/usr/lib/nginx/modules/ngx_http_upload_module.so" is not binary compatible in /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/50-mod-http-upload.conf:1
# Compile the dynamic module
cd nginx-1.14.0
