Tech Stack I’ve configured NGINX manually more times than I can count. Every server setup usually turns into the same repetitive process: And for beginners, it gets worse fast. Different Linux distros store configs differently.

Certbot behaves differently depending on packages.One typo can break production.

Rollback is usually manual. So instead of repeating the same setup process forever, I built EasyNGINX. An automation-focused CLI that makes NGINX setup simpler, safer, and much faster across Linux distributions. EasyNGINX turns common NGINX operations into simple commands. That single command can: One thing I specifically wanted to avoid was unsafe automation. Every operation follows this workflow: So the goal wasn't just convenience — it was reducing risk. EasyNGINX currently supports: It also works across multiple Linux distributions including: Answer a few prompts: And the site is live with HTTPS configured automatically. Some features were built specifically because I was tired of missing them in other tooling. Broken configs revert automatically. Useful for migrations and recovery. Includes support for: Deploy configurations across multiple servers with rollback support per host. Documentation is powered by Docusaurus and deployed using Vercel. https://github.com/nerkoux/EasyNGINX https://easynginx.akshatmehta.com Feedback, ideas, and contributors are always welcome.
