Geoip2 nginx - how to do it right?

Question

Nginx

You need to add ngx_http_geoip2_module or another similar one as a dynamic module to the one already installed from the nginx repository.
The most attractive option is from offsite: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/dynamic-m...
But of course it doesn't work, as it is intended for nginx-plus.
If you manually rebuild as the author of the module suggests: https://github.com/leev/ngx_http_geoip2_module
Then, if I understand correctly, it will work before the first update of nginx, which is not satisfactory.
What is the best way to proceed in this situation? Thank you!

Answer 1

If you started building the package by hand, then all updates in the future should occur uniformly, with the same build parameters. There is nothing wrong with that, in general.

Answer 2

apt-mark hold nginx will freeze nginx update in debian
