Linux NGINX how to set the best performance?

[rafaeru]

Hello, this is my first time using NGINX. I have always used Apache before. I currently have Ubuntu 20.04 and have been having problems with it from the beginning due to my lack of experience and knowledge. My VPS has 4 GB of RAM, and NGINX often consumes most of the resources, causing the server to lag. Where can I read about the appropriate configuration for my needs? Are there any pre-made tuners like with MySQL? How do you configure your NGINX?

4GB is not enough RAM for an all in one.

NGINX shouldnt use much at all, but loading a full map in TFS is going to use atleast 2GB alone.

I am coming to the same conclusion because previously I had more, 12 GB, and there was no problem with that. However, I never used 12 GB of resources, I wanted to match it appropriately to my server. Thanks, I will keep trying.

I'm really confused. Where/how did you come to the conclusion that nginx is what's taking up most resources? What do you use Nginx for? Reverse proxies? Or just a static home page?

Also, you should probably upgrade from 20.04 for some more performance boosts, or better: use regular Debian instead of Ubuntu. There's no point in using Ubuntu for your server. It's just Debian with a bunch of extra tools on top, almost none of which is useful for server environments, but desktop environments.
