Hello,
I would like to use HTTP/2 and to fully use its capabilities, it needs ALPN (and not NPN). ALPN is bundled in OpenSSL 1.0.2, but NGINX doesn’t seem to use it. I have upgraded everything and currently I am at NGINX 1.10.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2h.

As you can see in the screenshot above, OpenSSL 1.0.2h is indeed installed on the server as is the latest version of NGINX 1.10.0. OpenSSL was already at 1.0.2h when I upgraded from NGINX 1.9 to 1.10.
Any help to get NGINX to use OpenSSL 1.0.2 or how I can enable ALPN would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
PS I have no clue on how I could recompile NGINX. I’ve always simply used apt-get install nginx.

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.
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.
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
