As title suggest, ive bin upgrading a decade old bunch of XEON based servers with AMD Epyc. At the start i wanted a custom configuration such as Cloudlinux, Litespeed enterprise and Directadmin based. Right now the webserver is up for 1.5 week and over 400 websites are installed with ZERO issues. I've read something about the use of a RAMDISK in Linux - all i want is Linux to utilize all the available (free) ram for Caching purposes - if a RAMDISK is beneficial for web serving purposes, i like to hear from here (and how).
The reason i opted for cloudlinux is the use of isolating it's users, the use of older PHP (like 5.4) - cloudlinux provides this in a patched matter - so even older PHP is considered "safe" through Cloudlinux. Isolation is through CageFS - one user cant see stuff outside then where they should - and if there's a hack it's "isolated" to only one user. On top of that the resource management is a bliss - if one user causes huge DB queries for example the rest does not suffer from it.
Litespeed enterprise speaks for itselfs - it's great for Wordpress and it makes a server faster then a traditional apache or nginx - you can use way more websites on a litespeed based server then a traditional nginx or apache. On top of that the most important sites are powered through Cloudflare.
For security it's a tuned Modsecurity Owasp - this works magic in regards of older stuff that's vulnerable for exploits. Technically if your website is swiss cheese it's still impossible to penetrate through due to above security. On top of that, also some hidden matters that i took care off, not too important either.
So my question in short is; is a RAMDISK beneficial for a already fast server with huge NVME storage? Or just call it a day and let Linux manage (all) the available free ram? Litespeed replied to me that in regards of using a ramdisk would only be good if your server has traditional HDD's - this is'nt the case.
Perhaps on heavy IO load a ramdisk might be beneficial - but still. What is a "good" ramdisk size for such purpose?
