Hi,
I have a single dedicated server running HestiaCP.
It seems that HestiaCP is running Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of
the Apache webserver.
Why ?
The only slight advantage maybe the caching of images - but since it is all
on the same server, does it make any real difference?
I can understand it may be advantageous if I have multiple apache servers running on a network.
But I only lease the one dedicated server.
Can the HestiaCP be set up to only use Apache2 as the webserver?
If so, where do I make the change?
Thanks

Why ?
and other files, it indeed improves the server performance.
No, apache2 only has been dropped since 1.4.x. If you hunt for speed, use nginx only with fpm.
Thanks for the reply.
How do I know which version of CP I am using?
Can I update the version from the CP itself?
Thanks
Click on the gear icon that is next to the bell icon of your picture.
There you will see that you are running 1.15.x or 1.16
So, if Apache2 has been dropped from 1.4 and I am on v1.6
why is it creating the Apache configs and proxy to apache server ?

As written, apache2 ONLY has been dropped.
OK - sorry for mis-understanding that .

There are quite a few benefits of running nginx in front of apache. I would sum them up as lower resource usage + speed + compatibility.
If you’re 100% certain that the sites you will host with Hestia don’t rely on .htaccess
files (very usual), then go for a pure nginx only Hestia setup.
