YunoHost ships [NGINX](https://www.nginx.com/), a web server and reverse proxy software. That's the keystone that enables your apps and YunoHost services to be accessible online.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the web applications installed with YunoHost will automatically have their own configuration file created for NGINX.

## Manually installing apps, or exposing existing apps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generally, you should refrain from manually tinkering and installing apps, except if you are sure they will not interfere with your server. YunoHost proposes two generic apps to help you out:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If you already have a website ready to be deployed, consider using a **Custom Webapp**. It allows you to easily setup a directory into which you can upload your HTML, PHP, CSS, JS files with SFTP, and a database if needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If you want to use YunoHost as a reverse proxy, i.e. serve an app from another server or an internal web server (think NodeJS, Ruby, Python, ...), you can use the **Redirect app** in proxy mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The **Redirect app** can also simply run in redirect mode, for example to create shortcuts for your users in their SSO page, or redirect `www.yourdomain.tld` to `yourdomain.tld`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more information on these apps, and for more application use cases, have a look to the [Tutorials](/tutorials) section.

!! Do not try to install Apache or other public web servers. This will break your system.
