I built Gixy-Next because I still wanted Gixy-style NGINX config checks, but the original project is effectively frozen and tied to older Python versions. In day-to-day work, that meant either skipping useful checks or maintaining a private patch set just to keep it running on modern systems. The goal with this fork was simple: keep the CLI the same (`gixy`), make it run cleanly on Python 3, and keep the checks practical for real-world NGINX setups. While working on it, the scope expanded from "just make it installable" to also improving packaging, docs, and a few quality-of-life pieces (like clearer output formats) so it fits better in CI and security reviews. If you use NGINX heavily, I'd love feedback on which tests are most useful (or missing) and any configs that produce noisy results.
