Nginx Proxy Manager

NOTE: Version 2 is a work in progress. Not all of the areas are complete and is definitely not ready for production use.

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.

Features

• Beautiful and Secure Admin Interface based on Tabler
• Easily create forwarding domains, redirections, streams and 404 hosts without knowing anything about Nginx
• Free SSL using Let's Encrypt or provide your own custom SSL certificates
• Access Lists and basic HTTP Authentication for your hosts
• Advanced Nginx configuration available for super users
• User management, permissions and audit log

Future Features

• Live log tail

Migrating from Version 1?

Here's a guide for you to migrate your configuration.

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:    [email protected]
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
