I know I've asked this before, but couldn't find the answer in my message bases.

I'm going to try a conversion from Windows to Linux and seemed to recall something about web serving - I wasn't sure if the best way to serve web pages was to have Synchronet listen on port 80/443 or if there was a way to have Apache or NGINX answer on 80/443 and hand off .ssjs files to Synchronet to be served by it?

Or, if I should run the two separately and have Synchronet listening on alternate ports?

I'd like to have Apache or NGINX available to serve non-BBS content.

Thanks!

I use the Synchronet web server for serving all my web content (on Linux) except for gitlab.synchro.net (which uses nginx).

Or, if I should run the two separately and have Synchronet listening on alternate ports?

Or different network interfaces (addresses). That's what I do.

I'd like to have Apache or NGINX available to serve non-BBS content.

It's doable, but not really nothing unique to Linux. The same could be done on Windows.

Thanks for the confirmation. I could have sworn I'd read something about adding Synchronet as a handler in Apache for .ssjs content, but couldn't find it again.
