Use nginx for the webserver? #9

Closed mikehostetler closed 6 years ago

mikehostetler commented 6 years ago

Why not use nginx for the webserver vs. using iptables to route port 80 to 4000?

Was this intentional, or just trying to keep things simpler?

It's intentional. Unless you need Nginx, e.g. to be a common front end which routes traffic to multiple back end applications, it's better to just have Phoenix listen directly.

Here is a full Nginx config and discussion of where it starts to fall down under load: https://www.cogini.com/blog/serving-your-phoenix-app-with-nginx/

Interesting, thanks!
