hi there, thank you for the great job on the app!

I am a little bit confused about whether or not nginx-ui is suitable for my use case / is there a feature that supports it:
I have a local application, that serves static files on localhost
There are different api servers, that are accessible within different domains, and I want to be able to switch between them.

Is that possible that for example in the one moment of time all of the app requests are being proxy_pass-ed to a1.domain.name, and all of the api locations include this domain, and after switch (or select) to another api domain, all requests are proxy_pass-ed to a2.domain.name, with all of locations include new domain.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can create two sites or create the first site which is proxy_passed to a1, then duplicate it and modify the content to make it proxy_passed to a2. So, you can easily switch between the two configurations by enabling one and disabling the other, meeting your requirements.
