Only squid proxy seems to have a plugin, I'd like to have nginx support as well.
I'm happy to help with the development as well, will start by making some PRs 😸

• nginx_http_rewrite
• nginx_upstream

Greetings!

I have planned to prioritize other APIs - so I don't think I'll find time in the next few months/this year..

But I am open to helping you implement it yourself!
The developer docs should give you a basic overview of how to do that. But these infos are far from perfect/complete. Feel free to contact me if you have troubles understanding any relations.

We'll need to create multiple modules - one for each functionality the service/API provides.
Of course - you can stick to the ones you practically need.. (I haven't used it yet as I keep my services strictly separated from the firewall itself)

So these may be the modules:

• nginx_http_server
• nginx_http_rewrite
• nginx_upstream
• nginx_upstream_server
• nginx_location
• nginx_security_header
• nginx_logs
• nginx_bans
• nginx_limit_zone
• nginx_limit_request or nginx_limit_request_connection (?)
• nginx_credential
• nginx_cache_path
• nginx_naxsi_rule
• nginx_ipacl
• nginx_sni_fwd
• nginx_stream_server
• nginx_syslog_target
• nginx_tls_finterprint
• nginx_user_list
• nginx_error_page
• nginx_custom_policy

Thanks, I was able to get the upstream_server working, I've also added some tests FWIW.
Will also start working on other modules.

What is the documentation procedure?

What is the documentation procedure?

Greetings!

I've pushed the basic docs template.
Please (at least) add the existing module arguments with a little description.
