What is it?
Nginx UI is a web-based control panel for Nginx. It lets you edit and test configuration files in the browser, automatically reload Nginx after saving, and view Nginx logs without logging in over SSH.
The project also covers operations around the server. It shows CPU, memory, load and disk usage, keeps automatic backups of configuration changes with version comparison and restore, and can issue and renew Let's Encrypt certificates. Multiple nodes can be managed as a cluster, and configurations can be exported in encrypted form for migration.
The UI includes an AI assistant that supports multiple models, and an MCP interface that lets AI agents read and change Nginx configuration and control the service. It is distributed as a single executable binary, and Docker images are also provided.

Things to know
- Licensed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires source disclosure for networked modifications.
- Assumes a Debian-style Nginx layout, so non-Debian systems may need manual nginx.conf changes.
- The README's Docker example is truncated, so the full run command must be taken from the docs.
