Why use Minipx?
Performance-first: Built in Rust with Tokio for speed and safety
Automated SSL: Built-in Let‘s Encrypt handling with renewals
Hot-reload: JSON configuration refreshes in real time—zero downtime
Secure by default: HTTP→HTTPS redirect only when cert is available

Get started in 3 easy steps:
1. Install Minipx via the Ubuntu script
2. Set up your wildcard DNS record & forward ports 80/443
3. Add your route with SSL and redirect:
```bash
minipx config email [email protected]
minipx routes add webapp.yourdomain.app -P 1234 -sr
