Enable HTTP/2 on Nginx

monsen · 7. Oktober 2015

Nginx is compiled without HTTP/2 (--with-http_v2_module) support on OMV. Owncloud claims better perfomance on webservers having HTTP/2 enabled.
Is there a way to upgrade to a HTTP/2 enabled NGINX with OMV?

You could try what is suggested here:

But........who knows what might get broken. Make a backup of your OMV first.

@monsen,
Can let us know the result, if you use it?

Add the http2 keywords to your virtualhost configuration.

Code

server {
  listen        443 ssl http2;
  server_name   your.fqdn.tld;


  access_log    access.log main;
  error_log     error.log error;


  # Start the SSL configurations
  ssl                   on;
  ssl_certificate       /etc/nginx/conf.d/certificate.crt;
  ssl_certificate_key   /etc/nginx/conf.d/certificate.key;


  # Add any other TLS optimisations like strong ciphers etc ... 
  # ...
}

Enabling really is this simple, just change your current ssl-line from this:

Code

server {
  listen        443 ssl;
  ...
}to this:


server {
  listen        443 ssl http2;
  ...
}

@tinh_x7
If i am really doing this i will let you know.
Not sure if i should take the step right now. Every configuration outside of what is intended by OMV seems to be a pain in the ****
(I actually like the idea of having a frontend to administer my NAS but i am unsure about the flexiblity of it until here.)

I worry about the long-term issues resulting out of these manual changes. When the next updates come everything might go to pieces. Also i am still in the process of doing the base setup for me, so doing a lot in parallel.....

besides, and about owncloud:
What is really anyoing me about owncloud is the performance. It got a lot better with some tweaks but still is not good.
So either i will try or might get rid of it.

OwnCloud is working fine for me.
Just setup the memcache also help it too.

I hope somebody in here can confirm whether http/2 is working or not for OMV, owncloud, Plex....

After some more screwing here and there here is my opinion: the owncloud idea ist good, the implementation is crap. I got enough of it! Hopefully Future Versions are ging to be better. I will then try again.

I am happy with OMV though. I got a Little angry trying to get owncloud to run but figured it is not OMV causing the main issues.
i will try to replace owncloud with other Services.
therefore i am not trying to get http2 to run for now

We need a newer version of nginx. I have known this for some time. I wish Volker would upgrade the version even before we get to OMV 3.

But Debian repos are to blame.

Code

dpkg -l | grep nginx
ii  nginx                               1.2.1-2.2+wheezy3                  all          small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server
ii  nginx-common                        1.2.1-2.2+wheezy3                  all          small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server - common files
ii  nginx-full                          1.2.1-2.2+wheezy3                  amd64        nginx web/proxy server (standard version)

You can try this... but test it on a vm. You will need the backports kernel installed in OMV Extras.

apt-get -t wheezy-backports install nginx nginx-common nginx-full

Pitty, omv3 still running with nginx 1.6.2 two years later ... and http2 support only starts with nginx 1.9.5

Check your facts... OMV doesn't determine which version is used. OMV 3.x is Debian 8. So, it uses whatever Debian 8 has available. Looking here, 1.10 is in jessie-backports. And you have plenty of other options like using the docker plugin. There is no reason you have to use OMV's nginx. You could also use OMV 4.x
