Sites

Last updated 2026-09-11

Purpose

Sites combines an Nginx site manager with a lightweight workspace for small web projects. It is intended for managing sites from the mvmOS desktop instead of editing every configuration file by hand.

Capabilities

  • List, create, and delete static or reverse-proxy Nginx sites.
  • Scaffold a small web project with a FastAPI router and static index page.
  • Publish a project under a path or a custom domain.
  • Use a live-reloading development loop while editing a project.
  • Start and stop the mvmOS public-facing web-server process.

Before publishing

Confirm domain DNS, HTTPS, access control, backups, and the security of any application you expose publicly. A site can make services on your server reachable from the internet.
