How to Harden Nginx: Security Headers, TLS 1.3 and OCSP Stapling on RHEL 7 A default Nginx installation exposes unnecessary information about the server software, accepts outdated and broken TLS protocol versions, and omits the HTTP security headers that modern browsers rely on for protection against cross-site scripting, clickjacking, and protocol downgrade attacks. Hardening Nginx […]
How to Set Up a LAMP Stack on RHEL 7 A LAMP stack — Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP — is one of the most widely deployed web server configurations in the world. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, setting up a fully functional LAMP stack requires pulling packages from multiple repositories, because RHEL 7’s […]
How to Set Up a LEMP Stack on RHEL 7 A LEMP stack — Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP — is one of the most common foundations for modern dynamic web applications. On RHEL 7 the individual components are available from a combination of the base repositories, the EPEL community repository, the official MySQL community […]
How to Configure HAProxy for HTTP and TCP Load Balancing on RHEL 7 HAProxy is one of the most widely deployed open-source load balancers in production infrastructure, renowned for its high throughput, low latency, and fine-grained configurability. On RHEL 7 it is available directly from the base repositories and integrates cleanly with systemctl and firewalld. […]
How to Set Up Varnish Cache as a Reverse Proxy on RHEL 7 Varnish Cache is a high-performance HTTP reverse proxy and caching accelerator designed to sit in front of your web server. When a visitor requests a page, Varnish checks whether it holds a fresh cached copy. If it does, the response is served […]
How to Configure Nginx FastCGI Caching on RHEL 7 FastCGI caching in Nginx allows you to store responses from your PHP backend — typically PHP-FPM — directly on disk or in memory, serving subsequent identical requests without re-executing PHP. On a busy RHEL 7 server this can reduce backend load by an order of magnitude, […]
How to Configure Nginx Rate Limiting and Connection Throttling on RHEL 7 Uncontrolled traffic is one of the most common threats to web server stability. Whether the source is a poorly written client polling too aggressively, a scraper harvesting your content, or a low-volume denial-of-service attack, allowing unlimited requests to reach your application or upstream […]
How to Configure Nginx with ModSecurity WAF on RHEL 7 While ModSecurity is most commonly associated with Apache, it also runs as a dynamic module for Nginx through the ModSecurity-nginx connector. On RHEL 7, the official Nginx packages do not ship with ModSecurity built in, so you have two practical paths: compile Nginx and ModSecurity […]
How to Install and Configure Caddy Web Server on RHEL 7 Caddy is a modern, open-source web server written in Go that sets itself apart from traditional servers like Apache and Nginx through its automatic HTTPS provisioning, minimal configuration syntax, and zero-dependency binary distribution. On RHEL 7, where the standard repositories do not include Caddy, […]
How to Configure Nginx Load Balancing on RHEL 7 As web applications grow in traffic, a single backend server eventually becomes a bottleneck. Nginx’s upstream module provides built-in load balancing that distributes incoming requests across multiple backend servers, improving throughput, redundancy, and fault tolerance. Unlike Nginx Plus, the open-source version included in RHEL 7’s EPEL […]
