Nginx UI is a web interface for managing Nginx, developed by 0xJacky, Hintay and Akino. It is written in Go and Vue and ships as a single executable binary for macOS, Windows, Linux (many CPU architectures) and several BSDs, and documentation lives at nginxui.com.

Features in the README include online statistics for CPU, memory, load and disk, automatic configuration backup with version comparison and restore, cluster management that mirrors operations to multiple nodes, encrypted export of Nginx and Nginx UI configuration, one-click deployment and automatic renewal of Let's Encrypt certificates, and online editing of site configs with a block editor (NgxConfigEditor) or the Ace code editor with LLM code completion. It tests the configuration and reloads Nginx after saving, shows logs, and has a web terminal. An online ChatGPT assistant supports several models, and an MCP interface lets AI agents manage configuration and control the service. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-24.

Trade-offs

!A web panel with a terminal and config editing control over your web server becomes a high-value target, so it needs strong authentication and restricted exposure.
!It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, which has copyleft implications for modified network services.
!It is specific to Nginx, and the AI and MCP features are add-ons to a configuration UI rather than its core.
