Overview

Confix is an open-source, forever-free, self-hosted local config editor. Its purpose is to provide an all-in-one docker-hosted web solution to manage your servers config files, without having to enter SSH and use a tedious tool such as nano.

Features

• Interactive text editor (CodeMirror)
  • Features syntax highlighting, formatting, linting, styling, searching, etc.
• User authentication/management system
• Built-in file viewer for navigating your file system
• Tab system to navigate between open config files
• Seamlessly pick up where you left off with features that save your open tabs, track recently accessed files, let you star important config files, and quickly return to your saved directories
• Remote config editing (SSH)
• Syntax highlighting dynamic towards your config langauge

Planned Features

• Custom themes
• Guest mode
• User permissions (only certain users can access specific files or folders, etc.)
• View config file diff (compare the config file to the previous version)
• Config schema validation
• Backup configs to compressed file
