Should replace Nginx with ANGIE in version 16?

As the story goes.

Some of the developers from the core Nginx team left and formed another company and launched a replace ment clone with all the features of Nginx including those behind the commercial wall and released it as opensource under the name - ANGIE.

It would be great to know what the community thinks.

One thing that I really like about ANGIE is its built in support for TLS certificates using ACME.

@revant_one & @rmehta it would be interesting to know your views on this.

Hopefully a replacement for traefik

github.com/frappe/frappe_docker

overrides/compose.proxy.yaml

main

services:
  frontend:
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.services.frontend.loadbalancer.server.port=8080
      - traefik.http.routers.frontend-http.entrypoints=web
      - traefik.http.routers.frontend-http.rule=HostRegexp(`^.+$`)

  proxy:
    image: traefik:v3.6
    command:
      - --providers.docker
      - --providers.docker.exposedbydefault=false
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80
    ports:
      - ${HTTP_PUBLISH_PORT:-80}:80
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    userns_mode: host

However I assume team will want something very reliable and stable to incorporate into their tech stack

Time will tell

I intend to give it a shot. Most of my installs are behind cloudflare tunnels and if I can get HTTP3 to work end to end it would be great.

One apprehension I do have is that their website is not very stable….

@YogiYang @Ralph_Lavaud

This might also be a good replacement -

Question:

Would we add / replace nginx with angie in the standard frappe image or would it make more sense to run angie as a proxy in front of the standard frappe image (like with treafik or caddy)?
