I appreciate the enthusiasm and speed at which that distro updates packages but a comment notifying us under almost every single package update post is a bit too much I think.

Michael, take a look at that typo...

I don't post updates here for almost every single package update. only at times I'm working on such stuff anyway. I am sure Michael appreciates every page count increasing community interaction ;-)

I assumed michael didn't even read the forum. If he did, he must have a worse alcohol addiction than I do.

Is nginx the best web server?

Is nginx the best web server?

Try Apache or Caddy. Caddy is, as far as I know, the most full featured option Ruth regards to TLS and http/3 support

Is nginx the best web server?

The best is obviously very subjective.

IMO Nginx is better than Apache in most production cases (speed, scalability, security, simplicity). The only issue that I've had with nginx is using it as my kubernetes ingress in production. Nginx is at fault for vulnerabilities but if there was better backwards compatibility my issues could have been avoided https://github.com/kubernetes/ingres...versions-table

I've been playing around Caddy on my personal projects. I like the modular build system with community modules https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy there are other new projects worth trying out. https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp is cool but lacking http/3 support. I enjoy playing around with http/3 firewall rules and testing advanced packet manipulation both on the QUIC/TCP and UDP side before it becomes mainstream. Caddy simplifies dynamic DNS with TLS certs from let's encrypt is also easy for many providers including cloudflare and duckdns with multiple challenge methods: https://github.com/orgs/caddy-dns/re...anguage=&sort=

You might not believe it but some massive companies go out of their way to use M$ IIS because Microsoft takes liability for issues around it. For example if you use open source software like Apache or Nginx and develop/deploy/maintain it in house you are liable when things go wrong. Big companies like to pay an absurd amount of money to shift that liability to another company. Microsoft is big enough to provide this type of service/assurance for the financial sector.

Nginx is the best for my professional projects. I wouldn't use anything else at this stage. There are many complexities around http/3 and the rabbit hole goes deep: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/8797 Nginx has a "techpreview" version released ~2 months ago, but I haven't looked into how it actually works. I wish nginx all the best but I'm wondering how well it will compete with other projects written from the ground up to support http/3. It would be less work for me to just keep using nginx as is but I wouldn't be surprised if we see something new gaining popularity in the next decade.

I wonder how a web server designed from the ground up around io-uring would look architecturally? Would it be like nginx except some low level plumbing differences, or would it be drastically different?
