## What it is
EasyEngine is a command-line control panel that provisions and manages Nginx-based WordPress, PHP, and HTML sites using Docker containers, with Let's Encrypt SSL, caching, and MySQL included. It automates the full server stack setup so a single command like `ee site create example.com --type=wp` deploys a production-ready site.

## Use cases
- create a wordpress site on nginx from the command line
- manage multiple wordpress sites on a single vps
- set up lets encrypt ssl automatically for my sites
- deploy wordpress with redis or fastcgi caching
- run wordpress multisite with page cache on nginx
- self-host wordpress sites with docker
- spin up a quick html or php site on my server

## When to choose
- you manage WordPress sites on your own VPS or cloud server and want automated Nginx/PHP/MySQL/SSL setup
- you prefer a CLI over a GUI control panel and are comfortable with Docker
- you want one-command site creation with caching and Let's Encrypt out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical dashboard for non-technical clients (the hosted EasyEngine dashboard is a separate commercial product)
- you run Apache or a non-Docker stack
- you are on Windows or shared hosting where Docker and root access are unavailable
- you need to manage non-PHP applications like Node or Python apps
