Sites

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.

Administrator access

Registering or removing a project’s published domain or subpath requires administrator rights. These routes also check the desktop session directly, so a filename-like path cannot bypass authentication.

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.
