Gixy – Analyze NGINX configs for security and performance issues

Summary: Gixy-Next is an open source tool that audits NGINX configurations for security, compliance, and performance issues. It automates checks on nginx.conf files to identify misconfigurations and harden NGINX servers, updated to run on Python 3 with improved packaging and output formats.

What it does

Gixy-Next scans NGINX configs for security vulnerabilities, compliance violations, and performance problems, providing automated audits and clearer CLI outputs suitable for CI and security reviews.

Who it's for

It targets users managing NGINX servers who need automated configuration checks compatible with modern Python environments.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of maintenance in the original Gixy by enabling practical, up-to-date NGINX config audits without manual patching.
