Proxmox: how to use nginx instead of apache

Server NGINX
1

Hello list,

I wonder if anybody in this list was successful at (completely)
replacing apache for nginx as the web server for the proxmox VE
management system http://www.proxmox.com/products/proxmox-ve.

As for simply proxying it, I know that the following has beeen used to
simply proxy clients to apache:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name ~^(www.)?(?.+)$;
return 302 https://$domain$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 default_server ssl;
server_name _;
ssl_certificate /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.key;
location / {
proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8006 ;
}
}

Thank you,
M.

AFAIK, Proxmox is implemented in mod_perl and uses mod_perl specific
features. It’s tied to Apache.

Thank you Cliff,

I was hoping that someone had already start some work (based on from
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxEmbeddedPerlModule ?).

It would be much more light, secure and would, perhaps, avoid loading a
full perl instance for each apache child process.

Well, I won’t give up on it yet.

Yes. The idea is to use Nginx Instead of Apache to serve the Proxmox VE
Web GUI.
