Nginx Proxy Manager

Remember, if dockhand is using a domain name, this will have to be set up first.

I run one instance of Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) on each host.

Overview

This Docker Compose configuration sets up the Reverse Proxy application using Docker container.

• App: Proxy Manager on Docker Hub
• Official Site: Nginx Proxy Manager
• Docker tags
• Expose ports: 80, 81, 443

Default Login

• Email: admin@example.com
• Password: changeme

Create Network

The first thing you want to do is create the network:

docker network create proxy

Expose Ports

80 and 443 must be exposed, but you could proxy to 81 for the admin interface.

Create volumes

Assuming default sample.env is used:

mkdir -p /data/nginx-proxy-manager/data /data/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt /var/log/containers/nginx-proxy-manager

Logs

Nginx Proxy Manager writes access/error logs under /data/logs, which is mounted outside of VOL_PATH. Since logs shouldn't be backed up with the rest of the data, they're mounted separately via LOG_PATH, which defaults to /var/log/containers/nginx-proxy-manager/. If you'd rather back up/sync logs with the rest of the data, just remove the logs volume.

mkdir -p /var/log/containers/nginx-proxy-manager

Equivalent docker run command

mkdir -p /data/nginx-proxy-manager/data /data/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt /var/log/containers/nginx-proxy-manager

docker network create proxy

docker run -d \
  --name proxy \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --network proxy \
  -e X_FRAME_OPTIONS="sameorigin" \
  -e DB_SQLITE_FILE="/data/database.sqlite" \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 81:81 \
  -p 443:443 \
  -v "/data/nginx-proxy-manager/data:/data" \
  -v "/data/nginx-proxy-manager/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" \
  -v "/var/log/containers/nginx-proxy-manager:/data/logs" \
