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)?

This is interesting. Right now my set-up is like this: Tailscale → Caddy → Frontend (Nginx) → Backend

I set it up that way, so that ERPNext instances are only accessible within the VPN network, and still have automatic TLS certificates.

If Nginx were to be replaced by Angie, and automatic TLS certificates are configured, that would eliminate the need for Caddy.
