Topic: Apache to Nginx Migration

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

iRedMail     v0.9.8
iRedAdmin v0.9 (MySQL)
Deployed: Installer
Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 18.04 with Apache2
Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): where can I found out?
Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? No
====

Is it safe to stay with apache for all the upcoming releases? I dont know howto migrate to nginx? Is it just converting the vhosts or can there something go wrong? Can I stick with apache maybe?

Is there a easy way to reinstall iredmail? I would need to do a lot of ugprades to get to the latest stable. Any easy solution?

You can always choose to stay with apache, i aswell use apache, but then you need to do updates manually and can't use the update scripts

No.

A easy path: Setup a virtual machine and install iRedMail on it, then you get full Nginx configurations, try to copy Nginx config files to current iRedMail server (updated http/https port numbers first to avoid conflict) and tune it slowly until it fully works.
