A meta-repository from the HTML5 Boilerplate project that curates boilerplate configuration files for various web servers such as Apache and Nginx. It links to actively maintained, stale, and archived per-server configuration projects that provide hardened, performance-optimized starting points.

Use cases

• set up a production-ready nginx configuration from scratch
• harden apache http server settings with best practices
• configure caching and compression headers for a static website
• find recommended web server security headers and defaults
• bootstrap server configs for a new web project
• compare baseline configurations across different web servers

When to choose

• you want battle-tested, community-reviewed web server configuration templates instead of writing your own
• you are setting up Apache or Nginx and want sensible defaults for caching, security, and performance
• you maintain a website and want to apply current web standards to your server setup

When to avoid

• you need configurations for IIS, lighttpd, GAE, or Node.js, since those subprojects are stale or archived
• you need a runnable application or tool rather than static configuration files
• you require a highly customized or unusual server setup that boilerplate templates do not cover
