LEMP app as alternative to LAMP app
-
I think it'd be really useful to have an alternative LAMP app using the LEMP stack instead (basically just replacing Apache with Nginx). If this is possible, it'd be great to see this in the Cloudron App Store alongside the LAMP app.
For context... this thread is what made me want to suggest this idea more formally: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5784/apache-vulnerabilities/
In some cases, Nginx can be much more performant than Apache too particularly under heavier loads, so it'd be good to have Nginx as an option instead of only Apache for those who want to really eek out a bit more performance of their web servers.
Some external references supporting this idea of Nginx being a better performer than Apache:
https://hackr.io/blog/nginx-vs-apache - "NGINX performs 2.5 times faster than Apache according to a benchmark test performed by running up to 1,000 simultaneous connections. Another benchmark running with 512 simultaneous connections, showed that NGINX is about twice as fast and consumed less memory. Undoubtedly, NGINX has an advantage over Apache with static content. So if you need to serve concurrent static content, NGINX is a preferred choice."
https://kinsta.com/blog/nginx-vs-apache/ - "In short, Apache uses processes for every connection (and with worker mpm it uses threads). As traffic rises, it quickly becomes too expensive. [...] Event mpm goes a bit further in terms of optimization, but some tests show that it can’t outrun Nginx. Especially when we talk about static files, where Nginx serves as much as double the requests that Apache does. Nginx ideally has one worker process per CPU/core. The difference of Nginx worker processes is that each one can handle hundreds of thousands of incoming network connections per worker. There is no need to create new threads or processes for each connection. This is the reason why major Content Delivery Networks, like Cloudflare, MaxCDN, and our partner KeyCDN — or websites like Netflix — find Nginx crucial for their content delivery.
