Target: Any Docker hostNetworkingReverse ProxyOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from Nginx Proxy Manager's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Create a docker-compose.yml

    mkdir npm && cd npm
    cat > docker-compose.yml <<EOF services: app: image: jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - "80:80" - "81:81" - "443:443" volumes: - ./data:/data - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt EOF
    docker compose up -d

  2. 2Log in

    Open http://your-server-ip:81

    Default login is [email protected] / changeme — you're forced to change both immediately on first login.
