Hello,

I need to create a web interface to configure my nginx reverse proxy. I  
only  
know how to configure nginx with the configuration file. Is there  
another  
way to change the configurations, like a REST API, so I can make it  
dynamically?

Any tip will be very helpful,  
Thanks.

No there is no rest api for generating nginx config dynamically.

Please see below link for other options:

Thanks for your answer! It was exactly what I wanted. I’ll use  
nginx-conf.
