Nginx Configuration Pro
A Nginx plugin for JetBrains IDEs that catches security and configuration issues before deployment. Audit nginx.conf as you type with 38 Gixy-parity checks, CVE warnings, ReDoS detection, context-aware completion, and one-click fixes.
A purpose-built Nginx plugin for JetBrains IDEs
Edit and inspect Nginx configuration directly in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, GoLand, CLion, or Rider. The plugin adds Nginx-aware validation, navigation, refactoring, security analysis, and quick fixes without replacing nginx -t or your deployment checks.
Practical Nginx configuration guides
The Problem
Silent Config Errors
You pushed a config with a typo in proxy_pass — and found out from an alert at 3 AM. nginx -t catches syntax, not logic errors.
Documentation Juggling
Was it proxy_read_timeout or proxy_timeout? You spent 10 minutes on nginx.org to find the right directive and its allowed context.
Config Sprawl
Your nginx config grew to 15 files with nested includes — and nobody knows which upstream is used where.
Features
38 Gixy-Parity Security Checks
Detect alias traversal, host spoofing, HTTP splitting, unsafe CORS, weak TLS, SSRF risks, and other production security problems.
Context-Aware Completion
Suggests only directives valid in the current block. Completes upstream names, include paths, and variables.
Navigation & Find Usages
Ctrl+Click on includes, upstreams, variables, and named locations. Find all references across your project.
Refactoring
Rename upstreams, variables, and locations safely across all files. Safe Delete checks usages before removing.
30+ Live Templates
Type "proxy" + Tab for a reverse proxy block, "ssl" + Tab for SSL config. WebSocket, PHP-FPM, CORS, caching, and more.
Documentation & Intentions
Quick docs for every directive and variable. Alt+Enter to extract blocks, inline includes, add SSL redirects.
