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; }

Built for Ubuntu.
