Gixy is a tool to analyze Nginx configuration. The main goal of Gixy is to prevent security misconfiguration and automate flaw detection. Currently supported Python versions are 2.7, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7. Gixy is well tested only on GNU/Linux, other OSs may have some issues. You can find things that Gixy is learning to detect at Issues labeled with "new plugin". By default Gixy will try to analyze Nginx configuration placed in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. Or something else, you can find all other gixy arguments with the help command: gixy --help. Gixy is available as a Docker image from the Docker hub. To use it, mount the configuration that you want to analyse as a volume and provide the path to the configuration file when running the Gixy image. If you have an image that already contains your nginx configuration, you can share the configuration with the Gixy container as a volume.
