Which web server software do you recommend? - LemmyWorld

I want to host my website in my raspberry pi, I’ve read that I would need a web server software for this. Which one do you recommend? It won’t be a complex website.

Hosting personal websites on your own hardware is such a pain, and I would imaging doing it on a rpi would be even more of a pain than on x86 architecture. If at all an option I’d recommend hosting on something like github pages or better still on a VPS.

Lol, I wonder what terrible programming language you’re working in. Why would you need x86 to host a website?

@railsdev @innercitadel Do you not write your web apps in assembler..?

Ah OK, I might have assumed wrong then that running a server on ARM is a little trickier. Never done it. Only ever used nginx for my websites on my VPS. Don’t want to deal with the security and uptime headaches of running my websites on my home server.

I was a bit nervous about this too but I just set up a kbin instance on ARM (nginx, postrges, redis, and more) and didn't notice any difference. Totally straightforward. And the VPS costs half as much as the x86 equivalent from the same host.

Oh wow genuinely interesting. Thanks, I’ve learned something. I had the wrong impression.
