ExyonQ is a modular HTTP server and reverse proxy written in Rust: static files, FastCGI/PHP-FPM, TLS, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, full page cache, WAF, and a balancer with nginx/Apache-compatible configuration migration.

ExyonQ includes migration tools and aims to progressively expand compatibility with Apache, NGINX, and OpenLiteSpeed configurations. Refer to the documentation for details on the scope of each importer.

This repository is a clean source publication of the product tree (compile / maintain). Internal benchmark campaigns and raw evidence packs are intentionally not included; methodology notes and summary dashboards live under docs/benchmarks/.

Lab integration tree. Public product release: v0.8.0 on exyonq-github (ghcr.io/exyonq/exyonq:0.8.0, ghcr.io/exyonq/exyonq-wordpress:0.8.0, exyonq/exyonq:0.8.0 on Docker Hub — no :latest). This lab worktree may diverge; do not treat lab HEAD as the published tag.

• ACME bootstrap from zero: starts without a certificate on disk, answers HTTP-01 on the cleartext listener, installs the issued certificate without a restart
• TLS listeners fail closed while certificate material is pending
• Route response headers on the wire ([[route.response_headers]], e.g. HSTS)
• Multi-listen: every [[server]].listen address is bound and served
• Full-page cache with direct purge
• Security: zstd RUSTSEC-2026-0391..0406 resolved; Docker Scout reports 0 critical / 0 high / 0 medium on both images and both architectures

Full notes: v0.8.0 release.
