The April 2023 Netcraft survey: https://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-survey/ https://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/web-server-surve...
nginx is at: 26%
Apache is at 20%
It doesn't sound like nginx is even close to having this wrapped up; which is a really good thing because I've tried nginx and the config and design sucks. Apache does so many things well.

- virtuous_signal 3y agoThat chart counts nginx and openresty as separate categories. If you combine them (which I think makes more sense, since a lot of openresty's adoption must come from ingress-nginx), nginx/openresty would be at 34%.
- ta1243 3y agoEither way I'm happy with a wide variety of products doing the job, it avoids lock-in. Personally I use apache as I have very few users (internal facing stuff), it has a nice simple mod_auth_openidc config which remains the same from one year to the next I do have to recompile ws_tunnel though as I proxy a broken product I proxy which doesn't accept the correct standard for camel-capped "WebSocket" -- my "fix" script runs sed -i 's/WebSocket/websocket/g' ./modules/proxy/mod_proxy_wstunnel.c and recompiles
- jgalt212 3y ago> As of June 2022 W3Tech's web server count of all web sites ranked Nginx first with 33.6%. Apache was second at 31.4% and Cloudflare Server third at 21.6%. From the wiki.
- truthreplicator 3y agoIt's interesting, it sounds like Apache is closer than I thought. I posted Netcraft's link since I've followed them for years, I'm not as familiar with W3Tech. I can't speak to which has more reliable data but W3Tech's numbers doesn't surprise me.
