Hi all, I'm finally getting round to updating my home server (gets a fresh 5.6 install).
Of course, there were a lot of changes over the past versions, one of them being the whole apache -> nginx -> httpd migration. My webserver has a CMS running which requires PHP and MySQL, plus a few more PHP-applications. Also, I have two or three virtual sites running and I'm currently considering having a look at something like Owncloud and/or Citadel. Given the current state of development in OpenBSD, I'm now wondering what the best way forward is for me: a) Install apache-httpd-openbsd from ports and keep my configuration basically as is Advantage: Less work to get everything running - I've done OpenBSD re-installs like that several times over the past years Disadvantage: I guess that the new httpd will get a lot more developer attention, so this does not seem the ideal option longterm, but I could always migrate to httpd later, e.g. when upgrading to 5.7 or (more likely) 5.8 b) Migrate to nginx This seems to be the least interesting option - not only do I have to migrate now, but once more in the future, as nginx is also on the way out (so, the same "developer attention" caveat applies as with apache) c) Migrate to httpd From what I've gathered so far from this list, this would basically require me to switch to -current, as the 5.6 version is too fresh and too many changes have happened since - or am I being pessimistic here? I've never run -current before, hence, I'm a bit hesitant... I tend to go for a) because I do not want to migrate twice - but maybe somebody else has some interesting points that I have not considered yet? I'd appreciate the input!
