Recently I had use for NGINX on Windows, if you don’t know what that is then check out articles here and here. Thankfully there was a Windows build available and I got that up and running nominally in no time.

However, sadly as per usual with a lot of stuff coming from UNIX, support for the way Windows does things such as services was non existent, so I had to put my programming skills to use and have made a little Windows service wrapper for it. I’m providing binaries and source free in the hope that others may find this useful, you can download them here or you can find them on my Github.

It was wrote using Visual Studio 2010 and targets the .NET 2.0 framework, which does mean you need .NET installed, but that’s pretty much a given on most modern installs of Windows thesedays.

I’ve finally decided to be like all the other cool kids and signed myself up to Github, I’ll host the majority of my free code on there from now on.

You can find my Github at: https://github.com/lkinsella

I’ve also added a Github icon under the search box at the top right along with the usual RSS and Twitter icons.
