A powerful web interface and WAF for Nginx/OpenResty, providing firewall, control panel, and real-time dashboards.
VeryNginx is an enhanced version of Nginx built on OpenResty that provides a web-based control panel, advanced firewall (WAF) capabilities, and real-time monitoring dashboards. It extends Nginx's functionality with a visual interface for managing custom actions, request filtering, and backend configurations, simplifying server administration and security.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and web developers who manage Nginx servers and need enhanced security, monitoring, and configuration tools without relying on command-line editing.
VeryNginx offers a unique combination of a powerful WAF, intuitive web interface, and detailed analytics integrated directly into Nginx, allowing users to implement complex rules and monitor performance in real-time without sacrificing the flexibility of OpenResty.
A very powerful and friendly nginx base on lua-nginx-module( openresty ) which provide WAF, Control Panel, and Dashboards.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Provides a web-based control panel for managing Nginx rules, actions, and backends without editing config files manually, as shown in the dashboard screenshots and documentation.
Includes preset filter rules against SQL injection, directory traversal, and scanning tools, with customizable matchers for complex security logic, detailed in the WAF section.
Offers live charts for metrics like requests per second, response times, and network traffic, enabling immediate performance insights without external tools.
Uses a Python script (install.py) to handle OpenResty installation and updates while preserving configurations, reducing setup complexity.
The project shows signs of stagnation with old image URLs and limited recent activity, risking security vulnerabilities and lack of compatibility with newer Nginx versions.
Requires manual editing of nginx.conf and careful inclusion of VeryNginx configs, which can lead to errors in custom setups, as noted in the installation guide.
Default credentials (verynginx/verynginx) and exposed dashboard could be exploited if not secured, adding administrative overhead for hardening.
