The Debian & Ubuntu APT repository for performance-optimized packages
The myguard Debian/Ubuntu APT repository gives you the latest versions of NGINX, Angie, OpenSSL, Postfix, Dovecot, ModSecurity and 50+ other packages — built with security and performance in mind, with features the official repositories simply don’t ship.
# Installs GPG key, APT source and pinning in one step
$ wget https://deb.myguard.nl/pool/myguard.deb
$ dpkg -i myguard.deb
$ apt-get update && apt-get install nginx
Works on Debian 12/13 and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04 · Manual setup →
The official Debian and Ubuntu repositories prioritize stability over features. This repository fills the gap for production servers that need both.
// performance
Compiler-optimized binaries
All packages are compiled with the right flags and linked against the right libraries — including an updated jemalloc where it makes a difference.
// features
Modules not in official repos
HTTP/3 and QUIC for NGINX and Angie, Brotli compression, ModSecurity WAF, OpenSSL+QUIC — features that require custom compilation are included out of the box.
// freshness
Latest upstream versions
Packages track upstream releases rather than Debian stable freezes. Get NGINX mainline, the newest Dovecot, and current Rspamd without backport delays.
// security
Security-first defaults
Packages include php-snuffleupagus, ModSecurity with the OWASP Core Rule Set, and modern TLS configurations enabled by default for production hardening.
// containers
Docker & Kubernetes ready
Daily-rebuilt Docker images for NGINX and Angie with all modules included. Designed for containerized and Kubernetes deployments.
// trust
GPG-signed packages
All packages are GPG-signed. The repository uses modern signed-by APT configuration for verified, tamper-proof delivery.

Common questions about this Debian and Ubuntu APT repository.
What makes these packages different from official Debian/Ubuntu packages?
The official Debian and Ubuntu repositories freeze package versions for stability. This APT repository builds from the latest upstream releases, applies the right compile-time flags, includes extra modules such as HTTP/3 QUIC for NGINX, and ships features the official repos simply don’t carry.
Is NGINX compiled with HTTP/3 and QUIC support?
Yes. The NGINX packages in this Debian/Ubuntu APT repository are compiled against OpenSSL+QUIC, enabling full HTTP/3 support — something the official packages don’t include. The Angie packages ship HTTP/3 as well.
What is Angie and how does it compare to NGINX?
Angie is a fork of NGINX maintained by former NGINX core developers. It is a drop-in replacement with native ACME (Let’s Encrypt) support built in — no Certbot needed — plus extended Prometheus metrics and other improvements. Both NGINX and Angie are available in this repository.
Will installing packages from this repo break my system?
No. APT pinning is configured automatically when you install myguard.deb, so packages from this repository take priority only where you intentionally install them. Your standard Debian or Ubuntu packages are not touched.
Is this APT repository free to use?
Yes, completely free with no registration required. If you find it useful, a donation via PayPal (nomad @ paranoid.nl) helps cover server costs. Bug reports and contributions are always welcome on GitHub.
How often are packages updated?
Packages are updated shortly after upstream releases. Docker images for NGINX and Angie are rebuilt daily. Follow new releases on the blog or watch the GitHub repository.
Does this repository support ARM / aarch64?
Most packages are currently built for amd64 (x86-64). ARM support (aarch64) is planned. Check the GitHub repository for the current architecture list.
