APT Repository Setup

The GetPageSpeed Extras APT repository hosts nginx-module-* packages for supported Debian and Ubuntu releases.

1. Install the APT keyring

Download the repository keyring and place it under /etc/apt/keyrings:

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://extras.getpagespeed.com/deb-archive-keyring.gpg \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/getpagespeed.gpg >/dev/null

2. Add the APT source

You can either use the interactive helper below or copy one of the static examples.

Interactive generator

Select your distribution, codename, and NGINX branch to generate both the sources.list entry and a ready-to-run shell command:

Distribution Debian Ubuntu Codename NGINX branch stable mainline

sources.list contents:

Shell command to create file:

Alternative: auto-detect distro and codename

If you prefer a single universal command that works on any supported Debian or Ubuntu system, you can use lsb_release to detect the distribution and codename automatically.

For the stable branch:

distro=$(lsb_release -is | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
codename=$(lsb_release -cs)
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/getpagespeed.gpg] https://extras.getpagespeed.com/${distro} ${codename} main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getpagespeed-extras.list

For the mainline branch:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/getpagespeed.gpg] https://extras.getpagespeed.com/${distro} ${codename}-mainline main" \
  | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getpagespeed-extras.list

After adding the repository, run:

sudo apt-get update

You can then install modules such as:

sudo apt-get install nginx-module-brotli
