Re: [LUG] Nginx vs. Apache

 

Thank you Joseph good comments duly noted.
Having seen our Centos servers PHP in top running on fire nearly all day as it hosts 50 + sites.
Iâm really curious about running a docker container with NGINX as a proxy LB and giving NGINX a trial on a cloud server. Just hope I donât screw anything up in the process and maybe create some trial sites first. Â;-)
