## What it is
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
