Introducing and Deploying an Nginx Visualization System: Features, Installation, and Usage

The author, a senior architect, recommends an Nginx visual management system that he found impressive and useful for Linux developers.

Project Introduction

The project offers complete functionality with clear code structure, covering configuration management and performance monitoring.

Requirements

Configuration management

Performance monitoring

Log monitoring

Other configurations

Solution

Currently implemented features include configuration management and performance monitoring; log analysis is still pending.

Installation Steps

Download and unzip Nginx-GUI-For-Linux-1.0.zip (details omitted).

Modify the configuration file located at conf/conf.properties:

# nginx installation path
nginx.path = /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.15.12
# full path to nginx config file
nginx.config = /Users/gsk/dev/apps/nginx-1.15.12/conf/nginx.conf
account.admin = admin

Rename lib/bin/java_vms to java_vms_nginx_gui for the 64‑bit Linux version.

On the server, grant permissions and start the service:

# grant permissions
sudo chmod -R 777 nginx-gui/

# start backend
nohup bash /root/web/nginx-gui/startup.sh > logs/nginx-gui.out &

The default access port is 8889 with username and password both set to admin.

Remaining Issues

Implemented: Performance monitoring, visual configuration.

Not yet implemented: Log analysis, access statistics.
