Can I add modules to nginx-light installation that would only be available in nginx-full without recompiling?

I suggest you to build nginx from sources with desired modules for binary and integrate it in Debian using nginx-common package
you NEED recompile nginx to add modules

Do you know any performanc benchmark on both packages? I like to stick to the deb's because they are way easier to maintain.. Nov 15, 2013 at 14:23

the more modules you add to nginx, the more CPU it will use. nginx-light shloud be faster and more secure than nginx-full. And order of module inclusion when compiling matters. As suggested make your own binary compiling as wanted and integrate it with nginx-common. This allows you to choose an updated or latest version of nginx.– AvlinNov 15, 2013 at 16:10

I decided to simply go with nginx-light because I don't even need all other modules from -full. Thanks for your advice I accepted your answer therefore Nov 15, 2013 at 16:15
