Select a server and work with files in its configured NGINX directory. Compare configuration versions and review changes before applying them.
NGINX configuration guideRoxy-WI / NGINX management
NGINX web interface
Reverse proxies, upstreams and web servers. One place to manage them.
Roxy-WI is a self-hosted NGINX GUI for administrators managing one or more servers. Connect existing NGINX hosts over SSH, edit their configuration files and inspect service status from your browser.

From configuration to operations
What you can do with the NGINX GUI
Create reverse proxies and upstreams
Use the proxy_pass and upstream forms to define routing and backend pools. Inspect the generated configuration and retain access to the text editor for settings outside the forms.
Create an NGINX reverse proxyManage HTTPS certificates
Use the SSL section to manage certificates and the Let's Encrypt workflow to request certificates for your services. Review the validation requirements before issuing a certificate.
Certificate management guideInspect status and troubleshoot
Open service logs and the NGINX statistics page from the same interface. Connection metrics require the Metrics service and a reachable statistics endpoint.

Connect an existing NGINX server
Install the management application
Deploy Roxy-WI on Linux, with Docker Compose or with the official Helm chart. Choose an environment that can reach the NGINX hosts over SSH.
Deployment optionsAdd the host and its credentials
Create SSH credentials, add the server to a group and enable NGINX for that server. Check the configuration path and SSH connection before editing.
Server and SSH setupReview your first proxy change
Open an existing configuration or create a proxy_pass and upstream. Review the resulting configuration, apply the change and inspect service logs and status.

Access control and change approval
Group your NGINX servers and assign roles and service permissions. Start with the free Manual plan for the core interface and community support; check feature availability before enabling additional services.
Set up groups and rolesSubscription features
- OIDC single sign-on is included in Enterprise and Premium.
- Change Center requires Premium for configuration review, approval and staged deployment workflows, including NGINX.
- Monitoring services, configuration wizards, backups and HA cluster workflows have their own plan requirements.
Before you get started
NGINX web interface questions
Can I manage NGINX that is already installed?
Yes. Add the host and SSH credentials, enable NGINX in the server settings and configure the paths used by that installation. You do not need to replace it with a new NGINX instance.
Can I edit more than one NGINX configuration file?
Yes. The configuration editor lets you select files within the configured NGINX configuration directory. Configure that directory to match your server layout.
Does the interface include an NGINX WAF workflow?
Roxy-WI has a separate NGINX WAF interface for supported ModSecurity installations. The target server must have the required WAF components configured; installing the GUI alone does not enable a WAF.
