CryptPad’s application server handles active connections via websocket and serves static assets (HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc.). This basic configuration is designed to be very easy to configure for small to midsize instances (up to 3000 concurrent users). In a more demanding environment, the development team recommends `Nginx <https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Debian>`__ with our `advanced example configuration <https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad/blob/main/docs/example-advanced.nginx.conf>`__ for the following reasons:
