SOLVED Any way to install "custom" modules in EasyApache4?

CpanelMichael,

My question is related to the custom modules but I'm not sure if I should create my own topic or add to this one.

If I should create my own topic, could you please move this to a new thread?

Once we're given the ability to add custom modules to EasyApache 4, would we be able to have HTTP2 support?

I know HTTP2 requires OpenSSL 1.0.2 or higher and I know cPanel does not want to redistribute OpenSSL, which is understandable. I don't see why they couldn't check to see if OpenSSL 1.0.2 was installed on the system already though, and if it is, offer the http2 module, if not, simply don't show it. That way, if someone really wants HTTP2, all they'd have to do is find away to install OpenSSL 1.0.2 or higher onto their system.

If we're given the ability to add our own custom modules, they'd appear in EasyApache 4, right? If so, then we should be able to add the http2 module, install OpenSSL 1.0.2 or higher manually (if it's not provided by the package manager of the distro) and then just run EasyApache 4 and we should have HTTP2 support, right?

**EDIT: Never mind. It has been explained to me why my idea wouldn't work.

Thanks.

 

Cool! So, if I can create or customize RPMs and distribute them on my system, I can actually provide OpenSSL 1.0.2 or higher and actually have http2 support?

I'll be checking those links out! Will the custom RPM modules for Apache show up under EasyApache 4 when I go to provision a new profile?

That'd be really nice. I was looking into where the list of what gets provisioned is stored. If I'm reading the code correctly, it almost looks like cPanel just uses yum and searches for something like ea-apache*-mod_* and then displays whatever it finds.

Is that correct? If I wanted to add a custom module or something, I'd just have to create an RPM in a specific way and EasyApache 4 would auto-detect it and list it? Thanks!!!!
