Description

We would like to switch to the official openresty packages instead of compiling it ourselves. However, we would like to use brotli content-encoding for performance reasons. So far, I've not succeeded in building the brotli module for use with the pre-built openresty Alpine packages. Would it be possible to include mod_brotli in future releases of openresty?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's packaging scripts and the linked google/ngx_brotli project to understand how modules are built for the official OpenResty Alpine packages. Done means a future package release includes a usable Brotli content-encoding module without requiring users to compile OpenResty themselves.
