Enable Brotli compression

In your nginx.conf you have to load the compiled Brotli modules and switch Brotli on. You will find all configuration options in this github repository: https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli

load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_static_module.so;

http {
   # other nginx configurations..... 

    gzip  on;
    brotli on;
    brotli_comp_level 6;
    brotli_static on;
    brotli_types application/atom+xml application/javascript application/json application/rss+xml
                 application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-opentype application/x-font-truetype
                 application/x-font-ttf application/x-javascript application/xhtml+xml application/xml
                 font/eot font/opentype font/otf font/truetype image/svg+xml image/vnd.microsoft.icon
                 image/x-icon image/x-win-bitmap text/css text/javascript text/plain text/xml;

   include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}

Enable Lua support

Put this in your nginx.conf to load Lua.

load_module modules/ndk_http_module.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_lua_module.so;

And this into your default.conf.

server {
  # other server stuff

  location /example {
    content_by_lua_block {
      ngx.say("OK")
    }
  }
}
