Securing Nginx With ModSecurity

Guide: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/securing-nginx-with-modsecurity

Installing dependencies - omit packages that are deprecated in Ubuntu24

sudo apt-get install bison build-essential ca-certificates curl dh-autoreconf doxygen
flex gawk git iputils-ping libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev libgeoip-dev liblmdb-dev
libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libtool libxml2 libxml2-dev libyajl-dev locales
lua5.3-dev pkg-config wget zlib1g-dev libgd-dev

Before ./configure in /opt/Modsecurity , do sudo apt install libpcre2-dev
