How do I enable http2 for Chrome in nginx 1.10.1 on Ubuntu server 14.04?

[fury]

I'm trying to enable http2 on my sites, and got it working on Firefox.

nginx -V lists that the http_v2 module is installed, but that it's built with openssl 1.0.1f, which doesn't have ALPN support, and Chrome removed NPN support a while back.

I built and installed OpenSSL 1.0.2j and then restarted nginx, but it's still not using it

I installed it via apt following this guide: https://www.phusionpassenger.com/library/install/nginx/install/oss/trusty/

Any ideas?

Thanks!

HTTP/2 is considered by Nginx to be experimental on the stable line (1.10.x) so beware of bugs. 1.10.2 has a bunch of HTTP/2 fixes as well, but one thing you could try is to download Nginx mainline (1.11.x)  and use passenger-install-nginx to compile against it, ensuring that you also add the http_v2 flag (we only recently enabled it by default in that script: https://github.com/phusion/passenger/commit/e59af13629c8de1ea6ce509cec0fad7538860643 ).
