What is this?

This project is based on Alpine Linux, the official nginx image and an nginx module that provides static and dynamic brotli compression. Brotli and the nginx brotli module are built by Google.

As this project is based on the official nginx image look for instructions there. In addition to the standard configuration directives, you'll be able to use the brotli module specific ones, see here for official documentation
