How to get already installed NGINX to use OpenSSL 1.0.2 for ALPN?

1. rebuiding openssl

$ wget -c https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz
$ tar xf openssl-1.0.2h.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
$ cd /usr/local/openssl-1.0.2h
$ ./config
$ make depend
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
$ mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl_1.0.1e
$ ln -s /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2h  3 May 2016

2. rebuild nginx

$ yum -y install pcre-devel
$ tar xf nginx-1.8.1.tar.gz
$ cd nginx-1.8.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nginx \
	--with-http_ssl_module --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-1.0.2h/ 
  ...

My way to have http2 + alpn on https://glavpooltorg.su: Add jessie-backports repository

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

Install openssl with apt-get

apt-get -t jessie-backports install openssl

and then rebuild nginx from source “as is”.

Yeah! glavpooltorg.su supports HTTP/2.0.
ALPN supported.

Thanks a lot for the this guys, it was super useful! Note that in Ubuntu 16.04 I had to add a few more dependencies to make the script work:

• libgeoip-dev
• libgd2-xpm-dev
• libperl-dev

This was on a fresh install.

I took the steps and created an Ansible-galaxy role if anyone is interested in further automating this. I added credits for you guys with links to this thread and the bash script - let me know if you would like me to include anything else in there.

In the future I plan to add a Let’s encrypt role to go along with this.

I took what mrbdmm wrote, and made it into a script to install Nginx, OpenSSL, and ngx_pagespeed from source: https://gist.github.com/AJMaxwell/f6793605068813aae888216b02364d85

I hope it’s as useful to you as it is for me
