Nginx Proxy Manager

This project comes as a pre-built docker image that enables you to easily forward to your websites running at home or otherwise, including free SSL, without having to know too much about Nginx or Letsencrypt.

WARNING: Version 2 a complete rewrite! If you are using the latest docker tag and update to version 2 without preparation, horrible things might happen. Refer to the Importing Documentation.

Getting started

Please consult the installation instructions for a complete guide or if you just want to get up and running in the quickest time possible, grab all the files in the doc/example/ folder and run docker-compose up -d

Importing from Version 1?

Here's a guide for you to migrate your configuration. You should definitely read the installation instructions first though.

Why should I?

Version 2 has the following improvements:

• Management security and multiple user access
• User permissions and visibility
• Custom SSL certificate support
• Audit log of changes
• Broken nginx config detection
• Multiple domains in Let's Encrypt certificates
• Wildcard domain name support (not available with a Let's Encrypt certificate though)
• It's super sexy

Administration

When your docker container is running, connect to it on port 81 for the admin interface.

http://localhost:81

Note: Requesting SSL Certificates won't work until this project is accessible from the outside world, as explained below.

Default Administrator User

Email:    admin@example.com
Password: changeme

Immediately after logging in with this default user you will be asked to modify your details and change your password.

Hosting your home network

I won't go in to too much detail here but here are the basics for someone new to this self-hosted world.

1. Your home router will have a Port Forwarding section somewhere. Log in and find it
2. Add port forwarding for port 80 and 443 to the server hosting this project
3. Configure your domain name details to point to your home, either with a static ip or a service like DuckDNS
4. Use the Nginx Proxy Manager here as your gateway to forward to your other web based services
