@graf @sjw @Moon @p Apache seems to not have this problem :pepe_cofe_2:
-
@graf @sjw @p back to apache I guess
-
@Moon @sjw @graf @p Apache werks here
-
@Moon @sjw @p >people

That is not even remotely reasonable.
-
@sjw @graf @p people like caddy these days
-
@Moon @graf @p I don't remember enough to even get a static page going on Apache.
I'll just switch to whatever the Nextcloud/MariaDB/Rocky Linux version ends up being.
If I were to switch webservers completely then I'd probably opt to give Caddy a shot.
-
@dcc @graf @Moon @p if Apache 2 is so good then why isn't there an Apache 3 yet?
-
@sjw @graf @Moon @p Becauses its to good
-
@Moon @sjw @graf @p I think that dev jumped the gun a little bit.
-
@sjw @dcc @graf @Moon It's like SF3, they can't put a 3 in the title until after Apache httpd Zero, which they release as Apache httpd Alpha in the US.

no. please don't. let the kernel do the lifting

> Nginx can proxy UDP traffic
I don't know why you'd have nginx do that instead of iptables but I don't think lighttpd does that.
-
@p @graf @Moon I use zerossl and acme.sh so that's fine
Minecraft uses UDP
Nginx can proxy UDP traffic

If you know how nginx works, you can pick up lighttpd in fifteen minutes. Precedence is easier to read, you don't have so many rules about what block something has to be in (so if you want "/robots.txt" to always point to the same file for every vhost, you can just put that at the top), you don't have to size hash tables manually. Just a little nicer overall.

Yes.

That part I don't know, because I don't know how Minecraft works. If Minecraft uses HTTP for that, then yes. I do know that LetsEncrypt tooling kinda hates lighttpd for some reason.

@Moon @graf @sjw lighttpd still works, is still fast. (It's also not probably still what Youtube uses, but they probably use a fork of it anyway and it handled Youtube when it was on the way up and long after the Google acquisition.) I run it in a lot of places because nginx, in addition to not supporting CGI (which I need for stuff sometimes), nginx has a really rude config file, and one of lighttpd's early selling points was "The configuration file format is not like Apache's". <Location></Location>, motherfuckers!
-
@p @graf @Moon I always forget about lighttpd
Ya know, if I were to leave nginx that would probably be what I'd learn.
Can it be used as a reverse proxy and load balancer for Minecraft servers?
-
@threat @graf @Moon @p what if we did it in :node:?
