NGINX Info

Version 0.0.1 alpha

Helping NGINX users migrate from NGINX OSS to Plus.

We want to make it easier for customers using NGINX open source to upgrade safely and easily to NGINX Plus.

Build / Installation

The tool does not require any 3rd-party software or modules. The shell-script generated by the build.py script can be directly copied and executed on the target server.

To build the shell script clone the repository and create a virtual-environment python3 -m venv nginxinfo and activate source nginxinfo/bin/activate. Install the dependencies for the build script.

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt.

Make the python build.py script executable. chmod +x ./build.py

Build the shell script

./build.py > nginxinfo.sh && chmod +x nginxinfo.sh

The generated shell script can be copied to the server and executed.

Run

Currently we support 3 runtime modes.

• quite (-q) will print nothing but return an exit-code
• normal (default) will print only important information for the upgrade.
• debug / verbose (-v). Will print the parsing output as well as all information printed in the normal mode.

Example output

(nginxinfo)$ ./nginxinfo.sh

ToDos

• More NGINX Version Information (source branch, release date)
• Calculate an Upgrade-Score based on different information(Operating system, unknown directives and / or modules)
• Scanning a nginx -T output and print a report.
• Handle runtime information from /proc/PID/cmdline instead of nginx -V
• Detect unsupported builds and modules (dynamic and static)
