Install without apache?

[Anonymous Pro]

I remember having froxlor installed a few years ago, and then I could install without apache, only using NGINX. Is that still possible, and if so, what is the procedure?

Frankly, if you want light-weight, you definitely don't want apache. In fact, after 15 years of using nginx, using both here and there for work, I fail to see what the advantage is of using apache at all.

sure it's still possible, the procedure depends on whether you are using the debian package or not. If yes, install nginx prior to the froxlor package.

The question literally is "[...] I could install without apache, only using NGINX. Is that still possible [...]" and my answer clearly states the answer to that.

I did install nginx prior to froxlor, added your apt repo for deb11, but I still get:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

So no, it still tries to install apache. What is the way NOT to have apache included?

The control file in our package:

Depends: [...], apache2 | lighttpd | nginx, [...]

The docs from debian:
 

In the Depends, [...] control fields of the package, which declare dependencies on other packages, the package names listed may also include lists of alternative package names, separated by vertical bar (pipe) symbols |. In such a case, that part of the dependency can be satisfied by any one of the alternative packages.

 

Need to check whether this happens for me too, but used to work without issues

Wow, after 1 hour. Well, have fun with Hestia then

I think its not about NGINX or Apace, its all about Package that you are using with both of them. And if we talk about performance then NGINX is much better than Apache.

Thanks
