Why SSL proxy to Apache?
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2018 12:55 am
I am learning how Vesta interacts with conf files, templates, etc... but I am not new to server admin.
So my question, why does Vesta SSL to Apache when serving from Nginx?
It is actually causing more work. Nginx encrypts the connection, there is no need to encrypt the proxy.
Under my old panel, I used Hiawatha Webserver (which is even faster than nginx) and had it set this way. There is a setting in nginx to reroute 'http' to https' so even links will follow the proper protocal.
I was just wondering if there is a side effect I am not aware of?
