Linux 6.15 lands fix for 3x Nginx regression (phoronix.com)
The Linux 6.15 kernel has just merged a fix for the big performance regression I spotlighted yesterday on Phoronix with a huge hit to the Nginx HTTPS web server performance that could see a 3x regression from the in-development Linux 6.15 kernel code. It turns out other workloads/applications also were negatively impacted by this regression. While a stumper at first even with the bisected commit, the issue was luckily resolved very quickly.

Linux 6.15 Git Tanked Nginx HTTPS Web Server Performance (phoronix.com)
With the Linux 6.15 kernel settling down nicely, I've been testing out the current Linux Git state on more systems in looking for any performance changes. Unfortunately this week I ran into a large performance regression affecting the Nginx HTTP(S) web server. Here's a look at that problem currently affecting Linux Git.

Debugging Nginx: why my SSL certificates don't apply after reload? (nathanaelbonfim.com)
Recently, an automation that creates new nginx hosts stopped working properly. The process would go through flawlessly, but when I tried to access the site, it redirected to another host. The same thing also occurred in certificate renewals. Only after a full nginx restart would the site work correctly.

Nginx Rejects Dark Mode Support for Error Pages (phoronix.com)
A pull request was opened last week for adding web browser dark mode support for Nginx error pages. Unfortunate for those who prefer browsing in dark mode and then shocked when hitting Nginx-served 404 error pages or similar, the change has been rejected.

Zork: The Great Inner Workings (2020) (medium.com)
Roughly a year ago, during the summer of 2019, I got an idea. I was setting up a Kubernetes cluster, and as I usually do, I set up a mock web server using Nginx to test out Ingress, SSL, and domain settings. Then it hit me, wouldn’t it be great if instead of a boring webserver I would use a web game as my testing service and then leave it in the cluster as sort of a calling card.

We Chose Nginx and HashiStack over Kubernetes for Our Service Discovery Needs (hexmos.com)
We recently switched from Kubernetes to Nomad to manage our infrastructure. At first, with two nodes and multiple services, we had a hard time getting the request routing to work reliably. In this post, I’ll walk through how we built an efficient and low-cost service discovery solution for our infrastructure—and why it could benefit others facing similar routing issues.
