It is a fast light, responsive, and lightweight CMS that works well on all types of devices.

Installing Nginx

Nginx is a web server that can be used to serve static content, handle requests as a reverse proxy, and connect to FastCGI applications. It is a more lightweight alternative to Apache which offers better performance and a smaller footprint in memory.

Nginx can be configured to load its configuration files without needing to shut down and re-start. This is done by sending an indication to the master process, which checks the syntax of the new configuration file and applies any changes. It also sends an email to the old worker processes, asking them to not accept any new connections and to keep maintaining existing connections.

To create a configuration file for Nginx, open the "/etc/nginx/sites-available/" directory and then create a symbolic link to the file you want to use in the "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/" directory. The symlinks are used to keep track of the Nginx blocks that are enabled. This will enable your Nginx server to handle requests from your domain as well as the default site.

The nginx syntax is very flexible. You can set up a variety of things, like allowing SSL connections or setting reverse proxy servers among others. See the official Nginx Documentation for more details.

This makes it more efficient, especially for sites that receive large volumes of traffic. It can also be configured to store static content on your site, which can further improve performance.

Nginx is reverse proxy that can be utilized to redirect client (e.g. requests from browsers to be directed to other servers by using Nginx. This can be beneficial to balance load and speeding up websites and also providing additional security.
