Webserver needs testers

I pushed an update to webserver and I need some tests before to merge it

nginx → go to 1.26 banch
sftpgo → big UI rewamp with now unlimited files upload
php → updates for php8.1,8.2,8.3

in short please go to Upgrade webserver components (Nginx, SFTPGo, PHP-FPM) · Issue #7083 · NethServer/dev · GitHub and shoot your issues or questions

the main tests are :

  • upgrade a previous webserver with one configured vhost with php enabled, verify sftpgo is workable
  • direct install, configure a vhost with php, check sftpgo is workable

Thanks @stephdl

Maybe you can shed some light on my thoughts here.

When do I use Webserver and when do I need LAMP ?

In my case, I want a simple website. But a comparison matrix with pro’s and cons would be nice to assist in considerations of app to choose.

TIA

A quick comparison…

NS8-Webserver:

  • Nginx
  • No database - need to install MariaDB or postgres
  • Web based configuration, file upload and site configuration
  • Multi-site

NS8-lamp:

  • Apache
  • MariaDB and phpmyadmin
  • CLI configuration and file upload
  • single site/app
  • development base for a new NS8 app project

If you can live with php8.3 go to lamp, else use web server with php7.4,8.0,8.1,8.2,8.3

The database either remote in webserver or local in lamp is the same for me

The difference to populate or migrate the data is a pull strategy in lamp and a push strategy in webserver

Please test webserver version
