description: Generate nginx config from plain English. Use when configuring nginx.
Nginx Generator
Stop googling nginx config snippets. Describe what you want and get a working nginx configuration.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
Quick Start
npx ai-nginx "reverse proxy port 3000 with SSL"
What It Does
Generates complete nginx configuration
Handles reverse proxy, SSL, caching, rate limiting
Includes security headers
Proper server block structure
Usage Examples
# Reverse proxy with SSL
npx ai-nginx "reverse proxy port 3000 with SSL and rate limiting"
# Static site
npx ai-nginx "serve static files from /var/www/html with caching"
# Load balancing
npx ai-nginx "load balance between 3 node servers" -o nginx.conf
Best Practices
Always use SSL - Let's Encrypt is free
Set worker connections - tune for your traffic
Enable gzip - compress text responses
Add security headers - prevent common attacks
When to Use This
Setting up new nginx server
Adding reverse proxy to existing setup
Configuring SSL termination
