How hard was the transfer from Apache to Nginx server for you? I'm not quite sure if I should put Nginx on my to-learn-list.

It's really not that bad, unless you have a lot of rewrite rules. I typically use HAProxy + nginx for my static content sites.

Very simple and it made a HUGE difference to server performance on the same hardware. Concurrent requests were handled better and I cannot see myself ever moving back to Apache, not unless the incoming requests are handled by NGINX and reverse proxied through to Apache.

How are rewrites on nginx handled? Do you need to set it to the config (meaning SU rights?)

@AlexDeLarge I've read that it only can be used with static sites. But then I saw an installation of a lemp-stack which includes PHP. I'm confused now.

Having used both and switched from Apache to NGINX, I'd say it's worthwhile. It's faster and easy to transition.

@AlexDeLarge this article confused the ahit out of me. Cause I saw builds which had PHP installed with Nginx and of course that means it can serve dynamic content... 🤔

@Divisionbyzero nginx is not only for static sites, if that article is saying that. I cannot read so.. 😁
