## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, developer-tools, security, caching, documentation
- domain: web-development, backend, self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: boilerplate, server-configs, nginx, apache, h5bp, configuration-templates, web-performance, devops, web-server, linux
