#2This is certainly a good effort but I've yet to use a web ui to manage web server configs, especially these days when we're moving most of the configuration to code and version control. We usually deploy changes to a test server to test the changes and then move on to production.

Adding a UI doesn’t require you to take config out of your IaaC setup, it could Increase accessibility to logs, monitoring, security warnings, versioning, etc, that your IaaC might be strongly lacking. There are weaknesses to IaaC that a tool like this may supplement.

#4I'm using this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/nginx that I find it pretty good

#5This appears to be a simple UI wrapper over the nginx CLI more than a config generator (like what DigitalOcean has). It's basically an assortment of text boxes for editing the config and then buttons for applying it.

#6Looks basically like a web-based text-editor. More effort needs to be put into adding UI controls for modifying common settings, or at least some macros for adding settings to a config file. (e.g. insert a common setting at cursor location). Better yet, hide editing the config file in an "advanced" mode, and allow UI controls (checkboxes, input boxes, and dropdowns) for editing parts of the config. (that's what I thought this was going to be).

#7I just loved it, docker is a good choice but I would've love to have non-docker version as well.

#9Is there any security model for this? Or does having access effectively give you complete root control?

That’s true if the UI is a read-only dashboard. If the UI can affect behavior then you don’t have IaaC anymore.
