  • Developed and creator of the LEMP stack, Centmin Mod since 2011 with my blend of Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL on YUM/DNF based CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux with support for various crypto libraries allow me to support additional features including Post-Quantum KEX :sunglasses: Helping to contribute to world wide Nginx usage Market share trends for web panels, February 2025 :nerd_face:
  • When not working on Centmin Mod, I help my clients keep their forum communities’ servers performing and scaling for traffic/growth. I’ve worked with some of the largest vBulletin and Xenforo forum based communities online :grinning:
  • I am also obsessed with web site page speed and server performance and I am also an official Cloudflare Community MVP since 2018 and Cloudflare customer since 2011. Similar to how Microsoft MVP works :nerd_face:

I am happy to finally see Nginx move off its own forums, though I am curious: why not just redirect old nginx forums to new forums instead of leaving it to die?

Hi, I’m Tatsuya Kaneko, also known as catatsuy from Japan.
I run nginx with HTTP/3 and HTTP/2 as a hobby.
I also work with web services and use nginx with Docker in some cases.
Recently, I’ve been maintaining nginx-build.
Let me know if you have any feedback! Thank you.

:wave: Stephen, I am a Radio Amateur (G6SGA)
:artificial_satellite: :rocket: I am interested in space and satellite communications, electronics and computers.
:older_adult: retired. :smile:
I joined here as I have issues with a RaspberryPi and website configurations for my ADSB, Ports 80/8080/8081 etc. I am trying to set up a NOAA satellite receiver on the same RPi and it is not going well. So as I go down this rabbit hole I found out about nginx and thought yep that’s the answer… oh! what a muddle I am in now.

Thanks
Stephen G6SGA
