Somewhat tangential, is there anything like this that can dump a bunch of nginx configs and not take over port 80 & 443? I’ve been thinking it doesn’t hurt to have a nice GUI admin interface, one fewer deployment script to write for every little project, one click rollback, etc., but I already got a pretty beefy server where most things are run from, so I don’t want something to manage nginx for me and push out every service I already have running for years. Admittedly I haven’t looked very hard in this space.

What makes you think these will only run on port 80 or 443. Almost all networked software allows you to configure the port.
Nginx Proxy Manager is a good one if you are looking for GUI of nginx
Thanks, but I’m more interested in the automated deployment aspect, nginx itself I’m too familiar with ;)
Have you checked the deployment tools mentioned in this thread? Such as dokku, piku and coolify
Yes, I think they take over 443.
to my knowledge if you stop the nginx proxy it doesn't take over 443 in dokku at least, no idea if it is persisted over reboots though
Thanks, it seems dokku does allow bringing in outside nginx vhosts, something I must have overlooked the last time I checked. I'll have to take a deeper look.
