anangie

what is Angie

Angie /ˈendʒi/ is an efficient, powerful, and scalable web server that was forked from nginx

Conceived by ex-devs from the original team to venture beyond the earlier vision and act as a drop-in replacement without major changes to module setup or configuration.

Includes all capabilities of nginx 1.27.0 and a number of new features.

Install

Angie provides Dokker images, binary packages, source code, and other ways to install them, so I like to use source code to compile the installation.

Like nginx, angie also needs to install some basic dependencies.

[root@localhost angie-1.6.0]# yum -y install pcre pcre-devel zlib zlib-devel openssl openssl-devel

Then we started compiling and installing Angie.

[root@localhost angie-1.6.0]# ./configure --user=www --group=www --prefix=/usr/local/angie

If there is no error, then Angie has been successfully installed on your operating system.

Config

Next, let’s take a look at the following Angie.

[root@localhost angie-1.6.0]# /usr/local/angie/
conf/ html/ logs/ sbin/ 
[root@localhost angie-1.6.0]# /usr/local/angie/sbin/angie -t
angie: the configuration file /usr/local/angie/conf/angie.conf syntax is ok
angie: configuration file /usr/local/angie/conf/angie.conf test is successful
