Install

sudo dnf -y install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm
sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --enable getpagespeed-extras-mainline
sudo dnf -y install nginx-module-loop-detect

Description

The loop detect module allows NGINX to use the CDN-Loop header to prevent request loops. This is particularly important for CDN configurations where requests may inadvertently loop between servers. The module implements RFC 8586 for loop detection in content delivery networks. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_loop_detect_module.so; Alternatively, you can enable all installed modules by placing this line at the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
