After the first days of running this blog worth Apache on my new VPS I decided to try something new for this blog: Let’s run a LEMP and add HTTPS via Let’s encrypt!

LEMP stands for:

Linux

Nginx (engine-x)

MySQL / MariaDB

PHP

I read a bit about Nginx as a webserver and wanted to give it a try.

So, here we are now! I uninstalled Apache, installed Nginx and implemented the automated redirection to the HTTPS version of this blog. Why HTTPS? Only because I wanted to try out Letsencrypt, and I must say: it works 😎

Because of the lack of time I won’t describe the steps, they all can be found easily when you know how to use a search engine 😉
