Getting Started

Pre‑Installation Notes

Nginx UI follows Debian’s web server configuration layout; new site files are placed in sites-available and a symlink is created in sites-enabled . Adjust your configuration organization accordingly.

On non‑Debian systems, modify nginx.conf to match the Debian style, for example:

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

Installation

Nginx UI runs on the following platforms:

macOS 10.10+ (amd64/arm64)

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

FreeBSD

OpenBSD

DragonFly BSD

OpenWrt

Usage

First run: open http:// : /install in a browser and complete the setup.

Run the executable directly

nginx-ui -config app.ini

Terminate with Ctrl+C .

Run as a background service

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

Stop the service 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 Docker image uozi/nginx-ui:latest (based on nginx:latest ) and map ports 80/443 to replace the host Nginx. Ensure the mapped /etc/nginx directory is empty.

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
