Description

An NGINX C module that exposes Lua API to ngx_lua for manipulating NGINX upstreams at runtime. This module allows Lua scripts to get and set upstream server properties, check health status, and modify upstream configurations dynamically without reloading. To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_lua_upstream_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;

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
