Description
This NGINX module can serve static file content directly from tar archives. Inspired by nginx-unzip-module. Features: * Zero-copy: outputs content directly from archive file (no temporary files) * Caching parsed archive file entries: reduce archive scan-search time * Supported tar item types: normal file, long file name data Configuration example: location ~ ^/(.+?\.tar)/(.*)$ { untar_archive "$document_root/$1"; untar_file "$2"; untar; } To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_untar_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
