Reproduction

All species of Micrurus are oviparous (egg-laying).[3]

gollark: It's the same principle. You have one server forwarding traffic to other ones based on stuff.
gollark: lighttpd or caddy or nginx or apache or basically anything else.
gollark: What configuration did you try, then?
gollark: Unless you have other stuff on the machine which depends on apache being there, *somehow*.
gollark: Surely it's just `sudo [package manager] [install or whatever] nginx`, edit the configuration files, disable apache service, enable nginx service, that's it?
