Getting Started

Before Use

The Nginx UI follows the Debian web server configuration file standard. Created site configuration files will be placed in the sites-available folder that under the Nginx configuration folder (auto-detected). The configuration files for an enabled site will create a soft link to the sites-enabled folder. You may need to adjust the way the configuration files are organised.

For non-Debian (and Ubuntu) systems, you may need to change the contents of the nginx.conf configuration file to the Debian style as shown below.

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

For more information: debian/conf/nginx.conf

Installation

Nginx UI is available on the following platforms:

• macOS 11 Big Sur and later (amd64 / arm64)
• Linux 2.6.23 and later (x86 / amd64 / arm64 / armv5 / armv6 / armv7)
  • Including but not limited to Debian 7 / 8, Ubuntu 12.04 / 14.04 and later, CentOS 6 / 7, Arch Linux
• FreeBSD
• OpenBSD
• Dragonfly BSD
• Openwrt

You can visit latest release to download the latest distribution, or just use installation scripts for Linux.

Usage

In the first runtime of Nginx UI, please visit http://<your_server_ip>:<listen_port> in your browser to complete the follow-up configurations.

From Executable

Run Nginx UI in Terminal

nginx-ui -config app.ini

Press Control+C in the terminal to exit Nginx UI.

Run Nginx UI in Background

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

Stop Nginx UI with the follow command.

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

With Systemd

If you are using the installation script for Linux, the Nginx UI will be installed as nginx-ui service in systemd. Please use the systemctl command to control it.

Start Nginx UI

systemctl start nginx-ui

Stop Nginx UI

systemctl stop nginx-ui

Restart Nginx UI

systemctl restart nginx-ui

With Docker

Our docker image uozi/nginx-ui:latest is based on the latest nginx image and can be used to replace the Nginx on the host. By publishing the container's port 80 and 443 to the host, you can easily make the switch.

Note

1. When using this container for the first time, ensure that the volume mapped to /etc/nginx is empty.
2. If you want to host static files, you can map directories to container.

Deploy with Docker

1. Install Docker.

2. Then deploy nginx-ui like this:

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

3. When your docker container is running, Log in to nginx-ui panel with http://<your_server_ip>:8080/install.

Deploy with Docker-Compose

1. Install Docker-Compose.

2. Create a docker-compose.yml file like this:

version: '3.3'
services:
    nginx-ui:
        stdin_open: true
        tty: true
        container_name: nginx-ui
        restart: always
        environment:
            - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
        volumes:
            - '/mnt/user/appdata/nginx:/etc/nginx'
            - '/mnt/user/appdata/nginx-ui:/etc/nginx-ui'
            - '/var/www:/var/www'
        ports:
            - 8080:80
            - 8443:443
        image: 'uozi/nginx-ui:latest'

3. Then creat your container by:

docker-compose up -d

# If using docker-compose-plugin
docker compose up -d

4. When your docker container is running, Log in to nginx-ui panel with http://<your_server_ip>:8080/install.

Manual Build

• node.js 21+

  npx browserslist@latest --update-db

Build Frontend

Please execute the following command in app directory.

pnpm install
pnpm build

Build Backend

Please build the app first, and then execute the following command in the project root directory.

go build -tags=jsoniter -ldflags "$LD_FLAGS -X 'github.com/0xJacky/Nginx-UI/settings.buildTime=$(date +%s)'" -o nginx-ui -v main.go

Script for Linux

Example of Nginx Reverse Proxy Configuration

server {
    listen          80;
    listen          [::]:80;

    server_name     <your_server_name>;
    rewrite ^(.*)$  https://$host$1 permanent;
}

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ''      close;
}

server {
    listen  443       ssl;
    listen  [::]:443  ssl;
    http2   on;

    server_name         <your_server_name>;

    ssl_certificate     /path/to/ssl_cert;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/ssl_cert_key;

    location / {
        proxy_set_header    Host                $host;
        proxy_set_header    X-Real-IP           $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For     $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-Proto   $scheme;
        proxy_http_version  1.1;
