enhancement idea: redirects / reverse proxy config #15

Open techieshark opened 4 years ago

techieshark commented 4 years ago

It'd be great to have a simple UI to help people unfamiliar with nginx redirects & proxy rules create those.

Presumably, there's demand for this - here's a WP plugin with like 1 million installs devoted just to setting up redirects. https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

OTOH, maybe that's duplicative of https://nginxproxymanager.com/

Hello @techieshark, thank you for your suggestion for improvement. If I understand this correctly, the application should abstract the configuration by using for example a wizard? I find the idea really good and interesting. But I also think that the application has no other issues that need to be solved first. So I would put this issue aside and work on it as soon as we get to this point. You are welcome to push the development yourself and leave a PR there with the feature. :)

Maybe add some "prepared" snippets, such as 301 redirects for non https traffic etc. Or a toggle for "write this domains nginx logs into separate file".

@schenkd hi, thanks! Yeah no huge rush but if that changes I'll submit a PR, thank you :)

Yep, that's exactly that I was thinking.

That sounds like a great idea too, even if perhaps as the interim solution. Thanks for the idea, Luca!
