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
• Learning nginx configuration
