Nginx support

[Me.B]

**** The purpose of this thread to get your opinion and exchange over Nginx implementation  ****

**** It's still not on the roadmap ( short term)                                                                     ****


A lot of people are asking for Nginx or thinking about it would be better to support it.

So the question is how we support it? Does it make sense?

1. Nginx don't support .htaccess.
2. Nginx don't support .htpasswords.
3. Nginx rules are more complex and some popular software like WP will require custom rules. We can't allow users to manipulate webserver rules ! As it would not be secure.

I saw other panels using nginx as reverse proxy while apache sits behind. So you are still using apache and trying to get some performance improvement using nginx, but does this sound ok? Require more memory for micro instance.

So how to implement it?

We can set list of templates that user could apply per website, those rules are configured. Nginx only? No apache behind?

So hope the community help answering those question or explain more how it could be used.
