Build a complete Nginx server block for static sites, PHP, reverse proxies, and Node.js apps — with SSL, gzip, security headers, caching, and rate limiting.

An nginx config generator lets you build a complete, syntactically correct nginx server block visually — without memorising directive names or hunting through documentation. Toggle the features you need on the left, and a ready-to-deploy nginx.conf is written in real time on the right, complete with explanatory comments.

Nginx configuration is powerful but unforgiving: a misplaced semicolon, a wrong location matching order, or a forgotten proxy_set_header can break routing or silently disable WebSockets. This nginx configuration generator online handles the boilerplate for four common scenarios — a static site, a PHP application over FastCGI, a reverse proxy, and a Next.js/Node.js app — and layers optional SSL, gzip, security headers, HSTS, browser caching, rate limiting, custom error pages, and logging on top.

Pick Static Site, PHP Application, Reverse Proxy, or Next.js/Node.js App. This selects the base template — the correct location blocks, try_files or proxy_pass directives are generated automatically for that scenario.

Enter your server name (domain), optionally add the www variant, and set the root directory and index files. These populate the server_name, root, and index directives in the block.
