OpenResty Manager is a modern, web-based server control panel for managing OpenResty/Nginx reverse proxies, free SSL certificates, security protection, and host administration. It serves as an open-source alternative to OpenResty Edge and Nginx Proxy Manager, with an app store built on Docker Compose and multi-node cluster management.

Use cases

• manage reverse proxy websites with a web UI
• automatically obtain and renew free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates
• protect websites from HTTP flood and hacker attacks with access control and authentication
• manage multiple servers and build a CDN from a single panel
• run a web terminal and file manager for host administration
• deploy self-hosted apps via a Docker Compose app store
• replace Nginx Proxy Manager or OpenResty Edge with an open-source panel
• secure a home server's public-facing websites

When to choose

• you want a GUI to manage OpenResty/Nginx reverse proxies without editing configs
• you need automatic SSL certificate issuance and renewal
• you want built-in security features like access control and flood protection
• you manage several servers or want simple CDN/cluster setup
• you want host management (terminal, files) plus container app deployment in one panel

When to avoid

• you only need a lightweight pure reverse proxy without a control panel
• you prefer infrastructure-as-code over web-based server administration
• you need a panel for non-Linux platforms or non-OpenResty web servers
• you require a permissive license - it is AGPL-3.0
