Compiling nginx from scratch to include ngx_lua is a bummer because of all the added questions that need to be answered (packaging, repositories, automation, etc).

It becomes 98% of the time spent enabling this awesome feature (at least on CentOS and Fedora, from what I can tell there aren't RPM packages for ngx_lua).

That has been one of my major driving forces behind creating Dockerfiles/docker-compose my personal/work projects to stand up quick environments. Docker support on CentOS 5 doesn't exist but I only have a few servers left from that era luckily.

If you want to give this a try within Docker I setup a repo here to try it out: https://github.com/msumpter/docker-lua-resty-auto-ssl
