Nginx is primarily a web server, but can also be used as a proxy server. It’s free, open-source and often in direct competition with Apache to build web applications. As a web developer, I’m more used to Apache, but Nginx is known to be almost 3 times faster and lighter, which is great for a Raspberry Pi. Let’s see how to get it on your Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main package for Nginx is available in the default Raspberry Pi repository, so it can be installed with apt directly: sudo apt install nginx<\/em>. The web files can then be created under \/var\/www\/html<\/em> and the configuration can be modified in the \/etc\/nginx<\/em> folder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything in detail if you need a more step-by-step approach to this. Let’s start with an introduction, to make sure you understand what is Nginx and when to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n
