## What it is
A web-based NGINX configuration generator that produces optimized, secure nginx.conf files from user-selected options. It supports HTTPS, HTTP/2, Let's Encrypt, security headers, caching, PHP, Node.js, Python, and reverse proxy setups.

## Use cases
- generate an nginx config for my site
- set up https with letsencrypt on nginx
- configure nginx reverse proxy with caching
- harden nginx with security headers and hsts
- nginx config for wordpress with php-fpm
- enable http2 and gzip on nginx
- create nginx config for django or node.js app

## When to choose
- you want a best-practice NGINX config without reading the full documentation
- you need TLS/SSL, HTTP/2, and security headers configured correctly out of the box
- you're setting up NGINX for PHP, WordPress, Node.js, or Python apps

## When to avoid
- you use a web server other than NGINX
- you need fully custom or highly unusual NGINX directives beyond the generator's options
- you want automated config management across many servers rather than one-off generation
