proxmox-scripts VS Nginx Proxy Manager

I was using the guide from https://github.com/ej52/proxmox-scripts/blob/main/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager/README.md, It did not mention the npm user, plus I was using ubuntu 22.04 lxc, not Alpine.

I have 2 NPM servers, one running as a LXC container on proxmox using ej52/proxmox-scripts/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager in the DMZ, the other running in a docker container on the windows Ubuntu Docker host in my LAN: via portainer compose file. Both resolve different domains and services for trusted proxies to mgmt interfaces etc but have found NPM was the easiest to stand up and get going for my needs.

I'm using Virtualmin for websites (which work flawlessly <3) and emails. I'm using Cloudflare for DNS and proxy and Mikrotik as a router. NMP runs via the Proxmox LXC container and has been installed using this guide https://github.com/ej52/proxmox-scripts/tree/main/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager.

LXC,.anyone? https://github.com/ej52/proxmox-scripts/tree/main/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager

But it still does not show up on the DNS Providers list. I will admit that I do not know JS, etc but this seemed trivial to do.Proxmox Scripts, though I did had to do a little editing to get to work on PVE 7 using an alpine 3.13 LXC. If it's easier to just use the Docker container, then I can fork the project and make changes and build the container locally.

you dont have to install it via docker, you can run it directly in a lxc container instead

in the proxmox shell, not the container/vm shell. -> guide

npm setup.sh from source

But you can use https://github.com/ej52/proxmox-scripts/tree/main/lxc/nginx-proxy-manager

Here's the script I'm talking about.

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.
