nginx' configs are not as straightforward for me as Apache's. As long as I never need a high-performance setup, I use Apache.
-
sigfried5366yGo for nginx. Apache is like chrome. It eats a lot of RAM. And Nginx has way better performance (higher connection amount)
-
th4t6616yWell, generally speaking Apache is powerful, it can be used in development phases but it also has good performance on production environment. In the other hand I personally think that nginx has better performance in production (if you're able to configure it properly), it exposes a good configuration interface in working with virtual servers (in the case you need to serve multiple sites on the same machine) and finally it has a very mature load balancing and cacheing architecture.
-
Both, depending on what you need.
You can always proxy one through the other and get the best of two worlds. -
Wombat105826y@linuxxx sure. I know about the benefits. But I'm not that linux guru you are and I'm afraid of the configuration. Do you remember helping me on Apache? 😓

Wombat105826y@linuxxx I probably will give it a try soon. I am going to rent a droplet at Digital Ocean.

Nginx reverse proxy before an Apache. That gives the performance of Nginx together with the ease of Apache's htaccess.

C0D4681466yIf you need high performance, nginx
For everything else, there’s Apache + scalable servers and a load balancer. -
Linux438106yApache with MPM - almost same performance as nginx and easier to configure.
If you need .htaccess - apache is the one. -
@Wombat 300$ of free trial on google cloud dude 😉
I'll vote for CADDYYYYY
But nginx>am imo, it's so easy to configure + to use with certbot (for https) -
Root825416yBoth work well, so it depends on what you're comfortable with, but pick nginx.
It has a slightly steeper learning curve, but it's definitely worthwhile. Also: better performance. -
arginine3516yNginx. Felt like there was a steep learning curve when I first started working on it but was simple once l got the hang of it...
