Time for me to slowly start looking for an alternative.
There was a time when I wanted to move away from it and was eyeing HAProxy, but the lack of the ability to serve static files didn't convince me. Then there was Traefik, but I never looked too much into it, because Nginx is working just fine for me.
My biggest hope was Cloudflare's Rust-based Pingora pre-announcement, which was then never published as Open Source.
Now that I googled for the Pingora name I found Oxy, which might be Pingora? Googling for this yields
> Although Pingora, another proxy server developed by us in Rust, shares some similarities with Oxy, it was intentionally designed as a separate proxy server with a different objective.
Any non-Apache recommendations? It should be able to serve static files.
- pablopr3 3y agoMaybe take a look at Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/ https://caddyserver.com/)
- jbverschoor 3y agoWell, until you read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39351026 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39351026
- mholt 3y agoAnd? (That isn't about Caddy, rather a third-party plugin.)
- suprjami 3y agoThat's a third party plugin, not core Caddy.
- jbverschoor 3y agoOhhh I didn’t realize. Then nothing
- rouxz 3y agoCaddy, simple & easy, almost zeroconf.
- TOMDM 3y agoI'm going to third the suggestions for caddy, I've replaced nginx as a reverse proxy in a couple places with caddy and it's been so much easier to maintain.
- xcrunner529 3y agoI mean I’m not sure how it’s good to want to move to a dev who is against CVEs and disclosures…
- spydum 3y agoI think people are seeing this as a very generic "big bad globocorp destroying OSS community", and not moving past the headlines. I'm with you, this seems like a foolish thing to decide to fork the project over. Probably there is other conflict brewing, and this was just a convenient opportunity.
- qwertox 3y agoDid I miss something regarding that Maxim didn't want CVEs and disclosures? I was not aware of this. And F5 are the ones wanting to add the CVEs (as happened in the announcement which was released an hour earlier)? I could have sworn that I've read about Nginx CVEs in the past.
- xcrunner529 3y agoWell it seems he didn’t think this particular thing should have one despite the criteria being clear.
- qwertox 3y agoI did miss the post [1] where he explains that experimental features should not get assigned a CVE if the feature is experimental. In that case I'd agree with his view, though I think his reaction is a bit over the top.
