lighttpd forum lighty > lighttpd optimization for image hosting

Hello.

I'm looking for some articles how to optimize lighttpd for image hosting 
service.

Thank you in advance.

Add following to /etc/sysctl.conf

# These ensure that TIME_WAIT ports either get reused or closed fast.
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1

# TCP memory
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.rmem_default = 16777216
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 262144
net.core.somaxconn = 262144

net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans = 262144
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 262144
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries = 2
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries = 2

# For Large File Hosting Servers
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 87380 524288

In lighttpd.conf, add

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 4
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 4
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"
server.network-backend = "linux-sendfile"
server.max-fds = 8192
server.stat-cache-engine = "fam"

That will work fine with image hosting.

Thank you!

Just one more question - what exactly means "Large File Hosting Servers" 
?

That is only needed if you serve large files. But you can use the same 
settings for image hosting servers as it will not affect performance 
anyway.
