It took the service ~24 mins to start in my environment.

Nginx Proxy Manager v2.12.6 (runs as app on TrueNAS 25.04)

I observed the same behaviour before, too. I suspect that the number of hosts affects the duration.

Fixed by created my own docker-compose.yml file for npm. Truenas apps are slow.

[obsariaslan]

Hello @alexandrecorroy, what modification did you make in the docker-compose.yml?

[space192]

same issue if you have any pointers
