About this tool

Nginx configuration is powerful but its syntax is unforgiving, and a small mistake in a server block can break a site or leave it insecure. This generator builds production-grade Nginx configurations from your choices: reverse proxies, static sites, PHP-FPM, WebSockets, compression, security headers, HTTP/2 and Let’s Encrypt SSL paths.

Rather than assembling directives from scattered examples, you pick what you need and get a coherent server block with sensible, secure defaults — including the security headers and TLS settings that are easy to omit. That reduces both the trial-and-error of getting Nginx to start and the risk of shipping an insecure config.

It runs in your browser, so your configuration is not uploaded. Use it to set up a new site, add a reverse proxy in front of an app, or generate a hardened baseline you then adapt.

Frequently asked questions

What can the Nginx config generator produce?
Server blocks for reverse proxies, static sites and PHP-FPM, with options for WebSockets, Gzip/Brotli compression, security headers, HTTP/2 and SSL paths.
What is a reverse proxy configuration for?
It puts Nginx in front of an application (say a Node or Python service), forwarding requests to it while handling TLS, compression and headers at the edge.
Does it include security best practices?
Yes. It can add security headers and sensible TLS settings by default, which are commonly forgotten in hand-written configs.
Is my config uploaded?
No. It is generated in your browser, so your settings stay on your device.
