Nginx Web Panel

A web-based GUI panel for managing Nginx web server configurations, built with Python and Flask.

Features

• Create and manage Nginx configuration files
• Generate configurations for different use cases:
  • Proxy servers
  • Static file serving
  • SSL/TLS configurations
  • Load balancing
  • PHP-FPM and more
• Security validation of configurations
• Enable/disable configurations
• Test and reload Nginx configurations
• Modern, responsive UI

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Nginx web server installed
• Appropriate permissions to read/write Nginx configuration directories

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/nginx-web-panel.git
cd nginx-web-panel

2. Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure the application:

Edit the app.py file and update the NGINX_CONFIG_DIR setting to point to your Nginx configuration directory:

app.config['NGINX_CONFIG_DIR'] = '/etc/nginx'  # Change to your Nginx config path

Running the Application

1. Start the web panel:

python app.py

2. Access the web interface at http://localhost:5000

For Production Use

For production deployment, it's recommended to use a WSGI server like Gunicorn:

1. Install Gunicorn:

pip install gunicorn

2. Run with Gunicorn:

gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app

3. Configure a reverse proxy (Nginx itself) to serve the application.

Security Considerations

• The application needs permissions to read and write Nginx configuration files
• On production systems, ensure proper authentication is added
• Restrict access to the panel to authorized users only
• Consider running the app with a dedicated user with limited permissions
