I moved to nginx from Apache for Lemmy. Overall, I like it, I think. Though I do cheat and have ChatGPT generate the config for me and I tweak it from there.
I could do Apache config by hand, but I'm nowhere near adjusted to nginx config yet.
Nginx is fast and light. Apache is granular AF. You can set up more intense security with Apache, but if you're not trying to do really crazy shit, nginx is a huge simple win. Port proxy is like 3 lines.
This helped me quite a bit when i started diving into more advanced capabilities.
I had no idea you could create DNS records through Nginx. I just wrote a python script that uses Cloudflare's API for that.
You can? I set up a little docker image I found that will update DNS records for cloudflare
