Static compilation - how to deploy nginx in batches

Question

There are a batch of machines that need to deploy the same nginx. I want to copy the files directly after compiling once, but after copying, it prompts that a certain dependent library cannot be found.
Is there any way to compile it once and make it run on every machine?

Answer 1

You can use ldd and lsof to find out the shared libraries that the binary file nginx depends on, then copy them to a directory in nginx (such as /png/pack/libs), and then use patchelf to modify the rpath and interpreter of the binary file nginx:

patchelf --set-rpath /png/pack/libs --force-rpath /png/nginx/1.8/sbin/nginx
patchelf --set-interpreter /png/pack/libs/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /png/nginx/1.8/sbin/nginx

Then package the directory/png and deploy it to each server. For details, please refer to how I compiled and packaged PHP7 for 64-bit Linux distributions.
