Key Features

Online view of CPU, memory, load, disk usage, etc.

ChatGPT assistant

One‑click request and auto‑renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates

Web editor for Nginx config files with syntax highlighting

Online Nginx log viewer

Single‑binary executable built with Go and Vue

Automatic config test and reload after saving

Browser‑based advanced command‑line terminal

Dark mode support

Responsive web design

Getting Started

Before use, note that Nginx UI follows Debian’s web‑server configuration layout. Site files are placed in sites-available and symlinked to sites-enabled . Adjust the layout for non‑Debian systems and modify nginx.conf to the Debian style if needed.

http {
    # ...
    include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
    include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}

Installation Platforms

macOS 10.10+ (amd64/arm64)

Linux 2.6.23+ (x86/amd64/arm64/armv5/armv6/armv7)

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly BSD, OpenWrt

Usage

Run the binary and open http:// : /install in a browser to complete the initial setup.

Run in foreground:

nginx-ui -config app.ini

Run in background:

nohup ./nginx-ui -config app.ini &

Stop the process with:

kill -9 $(ps -aux | grep nginx-ui | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')

Systemd Integration

If installed via the Linux script, Nginx UI registers as a systemd service. Control it with:

systemctl start nginx-ui

systemctl stop nginx-ui

systemctl restart nginx-ui

Docker Deployment

Use the provided uozi/nginx-ui:latest image (based on nginx:latest ) and map ports 80/443. Ensure the mapped /etc/nginx directory is empty on first run.

docker run -dit \
  --name=nginx-ui \
  --restart=always \
  -e TZ=Asia/Shanghai \
  -v /mnt/user/appdata/nginx:/etc/nginx \
  -v /mnt/user/appdata/nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui \
  -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 \
  uozi/nginx-ui:latest
