NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

How to set up Gulp with an ExpressionEngine project

I freaking love working with technologies like Grunt and Gulp, and wanted to share how to get my current EE front-end workflow set up. With a few tweaks, this can also be used with virtually any other sites (I've used it with Laravel, static sites, Craft, etc).

Install Node.js

• If Node is not yet installed on the machine, it will need to be installed

Install Gulp (if needed)

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

Update 04.04.2020: Please take a look at many of the forks of this gist or comments, where people have updated or improved upon the code. I have not needed this in a long time, which is why the original document has not been updated and the code probably does not work. Stay secure and only copy and paste code that you trust.

There is an increasing count of applications which use Authy for two-factor authentication. However many users who aren't using Authy, have their own authenticator setup up already and do not wish to use two applications for generating passwords.

Since I use 1Password for all of my password storing/generating needs, I was looking for a solution to use Authy passwords on that. I couldn't find any completely working solutions, however I stumbled upon a gist by Brian Hartvigsen. His post had a neat code with it to generate QR codes (beware, thro

Php-FPM

Php fpm is the new way to setup php to run with your webserver. Php-fpm is a fastcgi process manager for php that is totally separate from the webserver. The webserver communicates with fpm through a socket and passes the name of the script to execute. So fpm can run with any web server that is fastcgi compatible.

I recently moved from my old shared hosting to linode. Linode provides linux vps hosting at economic prices. However the servers are totally unmanaged are just raw linux machines that have shell access. So through the shell you have to setup everything including the web server, php and the web files.

So this time I decided to go with the combination of nginx and php-fpm. I had multiple sites to setup on this new webserver. Nginx deals with these through separate server blocks (aka vhost in apache). However there was another thing needed. Php on each site should run with its own user and not the nginx common user named www-data.

Running each site with its own uid/gid is more secure and

# This config will host your main [Laravel] GUI application at /, and any additional [Lumen] webservices at /api/v1 and /api/v2...
# This also works perfectly for all static file content in all projects
# This is full of debug comments so you can see how to print debug output to browser! Took me hours to nail this perfect config.

# Example:
# http://example.com - Main Laravel site as usual
# http://example.com/about - Main Laravel site about page as usual
# http://example.com/robots.txt - Main Laravel site static content as usual
# http://example.com/api/v1 - Lumen v1 api default / route
# http://example.com/api/v1/ - Lumen v1 api default / route
