Topic: Has anyone consolidated a general webserver with iRedMail?

While back when iRedMail ran Apache ran a general Nginx webserver on the same hardware as iRedMail.

To keep things simple considering consolidating all services into a single server running iRedMail.

Has anyone else done this? If so what has been your experience? Biggest concern is Nginx configurations being overridden at higher level by iRedMail.

Should be easy to migrate from Apache to Nginx. I think Nginx is easier than Apache. smile

Completely agree Nginx is easier/better than Apache...thats why let iRedMail do the heavy lifting in Apache and kept own stuff on Nginx way back when.

It’s more complicated/ unexpected issues can arise though when both iRedMail and unrelated sites get served through Nginx.

I run iRedMail 1.0 together with Apache, PowerDNS, PHP-FastCGI, mariadb on a single server without problems.
But i also have nginx running and use it for some proxy stuff
