## What it is
A self-hosted web UI for viewing and editing nginx configuration files without using the CLI. It is delivered as a Docker container that mounts the host's nginx directory and lets users manage main configs and per-domain server blocks.

## Use cases
- edit nginx config files through a browser instead of ssh
- let teammates add or update nginx sites without server access
- enable, disable, or delete nginx domain configs from a UI
- manage nginx reverse proxy configuration in a lab environment
- self-host a simple nginx configuration editor via docker

## When to choose
- you run nginx on a small team or lab server and want non-admins to manage configs
- you want a lightweight, Docker-deployed UI that edits real nginx files in place
- you prefer a minimal tool without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need built-in authentication, since the app ships without auth and relies on nginx basic auth
- you need multi-server or cluster-wide nginx management
- you need validation, testing, or safe rollback of config changes before applying them

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: configuration-management, gui, self-hosted, http-server
- domain: self-hosted, web-development, infrastructure-as-code
