  • The 2024 Web Hosting Report

    Single-page applications (SPAs) existed before S3, but given that you still had to set up, scale, and maintain servers using something like Apache or NGINX in order to serve them, the advantages for “Ops” or “DevOps” were not so different to running a “real server” with a language like PHP, python, or Java.

    Simiplicity is nice, but there are reasons why Perl and PHP were the popular choices for web stacks in the early 2000's--they are faster and easier to develop with than C and likely safer than C too.

    mod_perl (https://perl.apache.org/) and mod_php (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/plugins/servlet/mobile?c...) helped to make Apache httpd (https://httpd.apache.org/) the number one web server in the early days of the web.

    The Apache HTTP Server project was initially launched in 1995 by a group of web developers and administrators who sought to improve upon the existing web server software available at the time. The project has since evolved into a collaborative effort, with contributors from around the world working together to maintain and enhance the server. Today, the Apache HTTP Server is managed by the Apache Software Foundation, a non-profit organization that oversees the development of numerous open source software projects.

  • PSA: Do not upgrade to Nextcloud 21 yet
    1 project | /r/archlinux | 22 Feb 2021
    Please also note, that currently uwsgi does not yet have php >= 8.0.0 support (a fix has been proposed upstream, but it is not backported for our release yet). This means nextcloud can only be used with the php7 equivalents in that scenario (php7, php7-gd, etc.). If time permits I will look into that later today though.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing Apache and uWSGI you can also consider the following projects:

Squid - Squid Web Proxy Cache

Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

envoy - Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy

HAProxy - HAProxy documentation

MySQL - MySQL Server, the world's most popular open source database, and MySQL Cluster, a real-time, open source transactional database.

Lighttpd - lighttpd2 on github for easier collaboration - main repo still on lighttpd.net

Nginx - An official read-only mirror of http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ which is updated hourly. Pull requests on GitHub cannot be accepted and will be automatically closed. The proper way to submit changes to nginx is via the nginx development mailing list, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html
