As an optional feature, this bash script allows the user to switch from Apache2 to Nginx.
If you're not familiar with Nginx, it's a lean, modern web server that's commonly used to serve static files and often acts as a reverse proxy. While Apache2 is primarily a web server that can be configured to act as a reverse proxy, Nginx is designed with performance in mind, serving static content and proxying requests by default. Although Nginx is optimized for static content and reverse proxying, it can also be extended to support dynamic content (such as PHP) through modules like FastCGI.
Since switching to Nginx I've seen a noticable reduction in response-times running the Stargate project on a Raspberry Pi. Interface feels snappier and quicker, even the api returns results quicker.
