If this server is that important, that you can't afford the downtime for a restart (to load the new binaries), you should consider a loadbalancer and a second nginx, which you can update. If you update the other, the loadbalancer should recognize and don't forward any traffic. If you don't have machines for this, you could even do it on the same machine. Setup a local loadbalancer and two nginx instances to loadbalance. If the hardware dies, you will have your downtime anyways. But remember: Every downtime is your maintenance window ;). hth, Marc
