    No response from @linuxserver maintainers?

    Should we switch to SWAG image?
    (I reverted)

    Edit: also, nothing is mentioned in https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-nginx#versions

    The bug is due to the lua package not being updated by it's maintainers when nginx release an update. It's all dependant on 3rd parties updating their packages in a timely manor. It's out side of our control.

    It's the dependencies that are required by crowdsec that's breaking this, not the image being broken itself.

    Generally you have to wait for the crowdsec bits to get updated by them upstream, if lua gets updated within nginx, it's just a case of waiting. It's not the first time it's happened and it won't be the last.

    Glad it's back working for you though.
