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

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

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

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}')

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

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.

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.
3. If you are upgrading from an older image, see the Docker WebSocket fix guide for required conf.d/nginx-ui.conf updates.

• Golang 1.23+

• node.js 21+

  npx browserslist@latest --update-db

Please execute the following command in app directory.

bun install
bun run build

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

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

Install and Upgrade

bash -c "$(curl -L https://cloud.nginxui.com/install.sh)" @ install

The default listening port is 9000, and the default HTTP Challenge port is 9180. If there is a port conflict, please modify /usr/local/etc/nginx-ui/app.ini manually, then use systemctl restart nginx-ui to reload the Nginx UI service.
