   @georgia @Meeper Nginx is not strictly necessary in most cases. Pleroma for example runs its own webserver in Elixir. Nginx is usually used as a middleman, to do useful stuff like redirecting http to https, caching certain routes, and serving static files much faster than the upstream server can.
