Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - Hannes - 2025-09-01 Hi, I just moved the Nginx config for Jellyfin (Among other things) from Nginx Proxy Manager on Unraid to pure nginx on my Raspberry Pi. After that I get a lot of stuttering (every second or so). htop reports that nginx uses 100% of the CPU, so I suspect that my Pi is just underpowered. Before I move to a Linux VM on the Unraid server, I would just like to check that my config isn't using unnecessary resources. Have I configured something wrong, or does a video stream just require more from the hardware? It's a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, so not exactly new... My nginx.conf and the jellyfin specific config is here: https://pastebin.com/6JaeeBfQ Thank you! RE: Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - bitmap - 2025-09-01 Looks fine to me. I would guess throughput is the issue. Supposedly a Pi 4B could handle pihole just fine and I saturated that thing nearly every day. I wouldn't recommend running networking stuff on a Pi, sadly. RE: Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - hmfaysal - 2025-09-02 I don't know, since the release of nginx 1.29.1, I have seen weird stuttering issues as well. My one is a pretty decent machine with i5 12500 with 64gb ddr4 2666Mhz memory. Need to investigate further. RE: Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - Hannes - 2025-09-02 Thanks for your input! I'll move Nginx to a VM. Will report back with the results. RE: Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - Eri Cka - 2025-09-02 Why not stay with Nginx Proxy Manager in a Docker container ? You may have misconfigured something RE: Nginx - Underpowered system or bad config? - Hannes - 2025-09-02 Moved to a VM. One Xeon E3-1246, and it's utilized to about 10% - 15% with the exact same Nginx config. So I'd say that confirms the hardware was under powered.

Especially when what I want to do is something other than proxy_pass, like serving static files. I also like being able to have my config as simple text files in a git repo and a bash script to deploy everything. |
