Shiny server is the same as NGNX?

We were doing some research on the configuration of Shiny server then we noticed that the config syntax is virtually the same as Nginx? Does anyone have a confirmation on this? If that is true we plan a different stack system architecture.

          just had a bit of a poke in their github repository and it looks to be pretty custom code and they're just reusing the syntax/variable naming of Nginx.



          config parsing seems to be done in lib/router/config-router.js where you can find references to things like 'log_dir'



          I'd therefore probably put some sort of proxy between it and the internet (if that's your plan)
