## Description

nginx-ui is a web-based management interface and configuration editor for Nginx. It serves as a graphical server administrator that allows users to create, edit, and toggle domain routing rules without using a command line.

The project provides visual orchestration for Nginx reverse proxy administration, enabling the management of server blocks and redirects through a web interface. It translates user inputs into the required text format and writes modified settings directly to configuration files on disk.

The system covers the management of domain configurations and general server settings, utilizing a REST-based API to trigger configuration updates and interact with the system process manager to apply changes.
