Nginx Proxy Manager is an easy way to accomplish reverse proxying hosts with SSL termination.
Deploy this app to Linode with a free $100 credit!
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.
I created this project to fill a personal need to provide users with a easy way to accomplish reverse proxying hosts with SSL termination and it had to be so easy that a monkey could do it. This goal hasn't changed. While there might be advanced options they are optional and the project should be as simple as possible so that the barrier for entry here is low.
I won't go in to too much detail here but here are the basics for someone new to this self-hosted world.
Install Docker and Docker-Compose
Create a docker-compose.yml file similar to this:
version: '3'
services:
app:
image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- '80:80'
- '81:81'
- '443:443'
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
docker-compose up -d
# If using docker-compose-plugin
docker compose up -d
When your docker container is running, connect to it on port 81
for the admin interface.
Sometimes this can take a little bit because of the entropy of keys.
Default Admin 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.
