Nginx Proxy Manager VS docker-swag

Why trafik over nginx for my modest needs, a couple docker hosts and a few dozen containers. I use https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager, would trafik provide a benefit on such a small scale?

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

Nginx Proxy Manager

Take a look at NginxProxyManager. This would give you the opportunity to put everything in the form of service1.domain.com , service2.domain.com ,etc.

Prime example: Nginx Proxy Manager is often recommended in the sub. The latest minor release came with breaking changes (so already ignoring semver). I bet you many people were running on latest and then had broken stuff: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/releases/tag/v2.10.0

I started looking into how to make add dynamic IPs to NPM access lists. I came across a couple of GitHub issues (1, 2) on the topic. It looks like people have solved the problem, but not in a complete way without modifying the NPM docker image. I did not want to do that, so decided looking into writing a separate script.

Here is the (NPM) GitHub issue where the "fork of a fork" image came into existence (lepresidente/nginx-proxy-manager). It has some interesting discussions about the challenges of having NPM and CrowdSec coexist and cooperate.

Agree with this, myQ is such a dumpster fire. It needs to have an the ability to be managed over the local network instead of requiring the garage door and app connect to their server.

My very first experience with myQ was figuring out that their IP blocklist provider, brightcloud, blocks anything with the word "proxy" - including the default "it works" page for Nginx Proxy Manager [1]. And they have no way of overriding this to actually provide service if someone turns out to be a legitimate customer.

Edit: If you're using Nginx Proxy Manager there seems to be open PR for support for proxy protocol https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/pull/1882 however in the comments there's a name of repository with this PR merged.

I have a NAS on .0.181 and a swag container (on a different port than nginx) on .0.180 that points to my public facing services. For obvious reasons, I don't want my public domain to point to any other ports/addresses on my home network. Additionally, as elegant as swag is, it requires authentication and so won't work for simple local DNS. I now have one local domain for each server and an nginx instance on each that resolves to my different services on each.

OP is even linking the Github... https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag

I have an UnRAID server with a few services (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) running on it behind Linux Servers' SWAG reverse proxy container, which is built on Nginx and Let's Encrypt. This is pointed to a DuckDNS link, which is then pointed at my domain with a CNAME. So I can access Jellyfin, for example, at jellyfin.mydomain.com. A few weeks ago, due to seemingly unrelated issues, I got a new modem/router, an Arris SURFboard G34. For the first few weeks, everything was working as before. But now, when on my LAN, I can't get to my services at the proxied domain. It times out every time. There are no errors in SWAG's logs, nothing seems amiss in the router's web interface, and the services are available both at their IP:port address and, when not on my LAN, I can access them at the domain no problem.
