Hi all. I want to learn Nginx. I haven't started the tutorial yet but
I had an earlier edition back in the day. The tutor advises to install
Nginx from source. Is this a good way to install nginx? Or should I
use my package manager to install it? I'm on Linux Opensuse. If I use
my package manager, is it easy to find out which directory the nginx
related files and directories installed to? I'm a Linux noob so
installing packages is new to me.

Also If I use my package manager, what packages should I install?
There are so many, here's the list. Please remember my main question
is should I install from source or get the package from the repo via
my package manager? Thanksso much  for your help:) Which packages to
install:?

I'm a bit confused. Is this how to add the nginx packages repository.?

sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck --type yum --refresh --check \
    'http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/sles/$releasever_major' nginx-mainline

Also do I type $releasever_major as is, or replace it with something?
Is Opensuse SLES based?
Also, which is more straight forward to upgrade, source or package?
The site doesn't really answer my questions and seems to be for
someone with a bit of Linux knowledge.


SLES

Your primary question was about using packages or building from source. That is answered on the link I shared.
The rest of your questions are easily answered with Google, which is where I found:

https://doc.opensuse.org/projects/libzypp/HEAD/zypp-repovars.html
https://forums.opensuse.org/t/whats-the-relationship-between-suse-and-opensuse/134186/3

Further questions might be more appropriate for the NGINX community forum:
https://community.nginx.org/

But please follow the install instructions first - they might just work! :)

I'm a bit confused. Is this how to add the nginx packages repository.?

sudo zypper addrepo --gpgcheck --type yum --refresh --check \
    'http://nginx.org/packages/mainline/sles/$releasever_major' nginx-mainline

Also do I type $releasever_major as is, or replace it with something?
Is Opensuse SLES based?
Also, which is more straight forward to upgrade, source or package?
The site doesn't really answer my questions and seems to be for
someone with a bit of Linux knowledge.


SLES

Like I said, those explanations are for people with Linux/programming
knowledge. I'm struggling to understand what's being said. I.e this
sentence is hard to comprehend:

"""Variables are e.g. useful for related repositories like packman
(http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/$releasever), which shall
always fit the installed distribution, even after a distribution
upgrade. To help performing a distribution upgrade, the value of
$releasever can be overwritten in zypper using the --releasever global
option. This way you can easily switch all repositories using
$releasever to the new version (provided the server layouts did not
change and new repos are already available)."""

What do they mean by related repository? What's an installed distribution?
I can make some sense of it, but a quick layman's explanation would
have been better than reading through webpages trying to decipher
technical terms. Which is the very reason why I asked here to get
guided assistance.
The 2nd link (forum) is not needed. SLES, which I didn't understand
was mentioned in the installation guide, which is why reading the
installation guide's  website just adds more confusing terms. I don't
need to browse the web just to understand a single term. This is time
consuming if there are a lot of terms I don't understand. You've
already provided 3 links, how many more do I need for such a simple
task?

hi.

part of what happens in some software, is that the docs are either hard to
comprehend for the beginner, the docs require other docs, which require...
, or docs don't really exist!!

writing good clear docs with examples at a level that beginners grasp, and
keeping updated docs is a beast!!..  same with testing!!

good luck

Hi Matthew,

I can still remember when I was a n00b, so I'll show some mercy here.

1.) Learn how to email. You can start by providing a meaningful and
     descriptive subject and checking if you actually want to send an
     email before doing so.

2.) Learn how to google. I did a quick "opensuse install nginx" search,
     and think the first search result is quite a good guide from
     opensuse themselves: https://en.opensuse.org/Nginx

3.) Nginx pros please correct me if I'm wrong, but I would start by 	
     installing nginx from the official opensuse repos with a simple
     "sudo zypper install nginx" - more on starting/enabling nginx is in
     the link above.
     If you can't manage configuring the nginx version provided by
     opensuse, compiling it from source won't improve anything for you.

4.) Learn how to Linux. https://opensuse-guide.org is probably a good
     starting point for you. If you have questions relating more to Linux
     in general and opensuse in particular than to nginx, maybe ask on
     https://forums.opensuse.org ?

And now, experiment a bit, and please stop sending one email after the
other! If noone answers on a mailinglist, maybe it's just not the right 
crowd to ask.

Cheers and good luck to you,

         Tobias

Also, words mean things. When one doesn't understand the words it is easy
to presume that it could be explained more simply, but actually it can be
explained less accurately.

If the target of the document is people with no background, it may be
important to stick to the basics and gloss over complications, like how in
primary grade school they might teach that divided by zero equals zero,
because the students are not ready for the more complex topics.

But the target of nginx docs is not people with no background. If you want
this, I'm sure there are books you can purchase which approach this at a
basics level. The reference documentation is required to be accurate.

I am sure the docs can be improved, but they might be improved by becoming
more complex and covering more things. I have a personal complaint about
nginx docs that they are ambiguous in some respects and I have to read the
same text multiple times before concluding that it doesn't really say what
will happen in the situation I am thinking about, so I will have to test it
myself, or read the code. But if they made the docs more accurate they
might be even less accessible to people without the background to
understand them.

The website does not provide an option to unsubscribe.

But according to the E-Mail header "List-Unsubscribe" you can also send 
an e-mail with the subject "unsubscribe" to nginx-request at nginx.org

The full header is as follows:

List-Unsubscribe: <https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/options/nginx>, 
<mailto:nginx-request at nginx.org?subject=unsubscribe>

Thanks for the responses guys. I'll try and follow all the advise and
search google more often.

Also Tobias, I wasn't sending emails one after the other. They were
all in response to emails from Liam directed at me. It kept getting
harder to spot the messages with all the text from previous emails, so
when I wrote my last response, I deleted all the previous email text
so it was only my text visible.
Again, thank you all.

Subject: njs-0.9.1
Message-ID: <63fe06e0-4533-470c-9f59-ac764bf7cf3d@nginx.com>

Hello,

I'm glad to announce a new release of NGINX JavaScript module (njs).

This release adds Fetch API support to the QuickJS engine, bringing
it to feature parity with njs. Additionally, the shared dictionary now
includes state file support, allowing its contents to persist across
nginx restarts.

Read more about QuickJS support:
     https://blog.nginx.org/blog/quickjs-engine-support-for-njs

Learn more about njs:

- Overview and introduction:

Feel free to try it and give us feedback on:

- Github:
       https://github.com/nginx/njs/issues

Additional examples and howtos can be found here:

- Github:

     *) Improvement: reduced memory consumption of
        String.prototype.concat() with scalar values.

     *) Bugfix: fixed segfault in njs_property_query().
        The issue was introduced in b28e50b1 (0.9.0).

     *) Bugfix: fixed Function constructor template injection.

     *) Bugfix: fixed GCC compilation with O3 optimization level.

     *) Bugfix: fixed constant is too large for 'long' warning
        on MIPS -mabi=n32.

     *) Bugfix: fixed compilation with GCC 4.1.

     *) Bugfix: fixed %TypedArray%.from() with the buffer is detached
        by the mapper.

Much outside of Nginx relevant - but unfortunately, they did teach that
divided by zero was zero in grade 2, around 1985. My teacher was probably
not happy with it either, being forced to teach a curriculum, and instead
of telling me I was wrong, she invited me to go up to the board after the
lesson and explain my thoughts to the class. I think if I explained my
thoughts, it was an interesting loophole for her, where she could claim she
stayed on curriculum and could ask questions rather than "teaching".

A similar thing happened with "power of", where I was telling one of my
peers about  how it worked on the bus, and he told me I was making up fake
math, so he invited the grade 6 bus monitor to the conversation to confirm
if I was telling the truth or lying, and she told us I was lying, and there
was "no such thing". But, my grade 2 teacher also invited me to explain it
the next day.

Childhood scars... but that teacher was a favourite of mine. :-)
