ExampleConfig

Hi everyone, this the Creator of ExampleConfig.

I encountered the following problem: When editing configuration files I sometimes reached a point where I messed up the config file pretty bad. No point in trying to fix things, when clearly a fresh start makes more sense. Turns out finding the shipped original version of the configuration file is actually pretty hard. If you are lucky you find this original config file on some random GitHub Gist or accidentally indexed FTP server. You probably know this situation.

Solution: I went ahead and built an archive of these clean, original configuration files. Now you and me got them all in one place. They are collected from a fresh installation of the application (Apache, nginx, MariaDB, etc) on various Linux distros (Debian, CentOS, Alpine, etc). This is important because config files differ slightly between Linux distros.

Tech: Frontend: static site generated with Hugo.

Backend: applications are installed in Docker containers. The shipped configuration files are fetched and the containers are destroyed. This process is repeated for every Linux distro.

The goal of ExampleConfig is to provide a collection of original, unaltered configuration files for multiple applications.

Let me know what you think, what I should improve and what applications/distros you are missing and so on! (especially since this is my first time launching a product)
