Vesta Control Panel - Forum

My understanding is that Vesta is Open Source. I'm trying to find the source code for vesta-nginx that is found at /usr/local/vesta/nginx/sbin/.

I tried looking at the other repositories owned by serghey-rodin, but these were all that I found:
vesta
rainloop-webmail
roundcubemail

Is there another place where I should be looking?

Tell me exactly what you want to do with those codes and see if I can help

This is regular nginx, just service called vesta-nginx for will be difference with standalone nginx service.

I wanted to see how it knows to load the nginx configuration files from /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/ as well as the standard /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

@grayfolk: Are you saying that regular nginx knows to load configuration from /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf before the standard /etc/nginx/nginx.conf ?

I too am also interested to know where the documentation is for this, as I need to know as I am working on some template based plugins.

Can someone clarify where this documentation is and why It doesn't appear to be public?

Or perhaps I've been looking in the wrong location. I too also looked through the same Github link above. But there is no information available on this.

Some clarity on this subject would really help.

Many thanks.

Nginx can compiled with another config path. Read http://nginx.org/en/docs/configure.html

Yes, I know about that. But that only changes one path. How is it managing two paths?

What you mean?

If vesta-nginx is compiled to load the configuration from /usr/local/vesta/nginx/conf/nginx.conf, how is it also loading the configuration from /etc/nginx/nginx.conf?

Or are there two separate copies of nginx running? And if there are two separate copies, why not just use one copy and run it twice: once for vesta, and the second time for hosting?

Yes, sure. You ask this in first post - second copy called vesta-nginx.

First, if nginx already running - you cant run it again. For create another nginx instance you should create another nginx build.
Second, see: idea is Vesta still continue working if any problems with sites. This is simple practice for server panels - panel should be isolated from hosted sites.
