Nginx is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.

What is Nginx?

Nginx is a high-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy, and load balancer. It is widely used to serve static content, proxy application servers, and terminate TLS connections under high concurrency.

Run Nginx in Even

Even Stacks launches Nginx as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Nginx in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8606, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://nginx.localhost.

Drive Nginx with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Nginx directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, check its status and logs, and reconfigure it. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Nginx and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: No web UI; edit config files mounted at /etc/nginx/conf.d/ then run docker exec nginx nginx -s reload to apply changes without a restart. Validate config first with docker exec nginx nginx -t. Logs are at /var/log/nginx/.
