NGINX Proxy Manager: How to Install and Setup Reverse Proxy on Unraid

NGINX Proxy Manager enables you to easily forward to your websites running at home or otherwise, including free SSL, without knowing too much about NGINX or Letsencrypt. An excellent reverse proxy to help connect your services to the web.

Today, we'll install it on Unraid using Docker containers and explain how it works. We'll teach you how to set up and use a reverse proxy to get your internal applications out to the internet.

I have since realized the name is pronounced as 'Engine X'; however, I'm an Aussie, so we say it differently. That's not really true, but hey, who cares?

Thanks for watching! We appreciate ya. Do you like NPM as a reverse proxy? What do you use currently? Let us know below!

It's good to have another Unraid youtuber out there. I love Spaceinvader's content but having more and varied perspectives is a good thing.

[alessandrocasserini]

I may have lost a few details such as:
1) Network Type: Custom <name> @ 5:20 --> How do you set it up? Is it needed? What's the difference to not using it (in terms of settings/upsides/downsides)?
2) What if I don't have a domain and therefore I can't set cloudflare @14:00 ? I just have a DynDNS pointing to my public IP that I will not really give out

Thanks for this video! Got my NPM all setup and configured. Just moved from SWAG and this is way easier!

[pietervheerden]

Fantastic videos on this channel! Just changed from SWAG to NPM. Was way easier than the SWAG config and I was up and running in no time flat.

[darrendieckman]

Amazing guide. NPM is amazing. It takes all the guesswork out of setting up a reverse proxy with a nice web-gui.

[anthonybrownbill]

Thanks so much for posting this. Helped me to no end with getting my nextcloud up and running.

I've spent probably 10-15 hours trying to get swag and cloudflare working. The reasons you described fit me to a T. I was successful with your guide and I really appreciate it. +1 sub!

[Ricofizz]

Thanks for the video & documentation, finally got it working after moving from SWAG. For anyone having trouble with getting the certificates issued. It could be that in Cloudlfare the proxy is on while the cert hasn't been issued yet. Turning the proxy off allowed me to request a cert after which I could enable cloudflare's proxy once again.

[AwesomeOpenSource]

Thanks for the shout out. This was an excellent how to. Very very good!

[aaronbeckwith]

Thank you so much for this! Everything is presented so well!

[smsunday]

This was very helpful! I'm looking forward to more guides.

[beemerrox]

Followed this video and DAMN it made my day, everything works perfectly. Love NGINX. Thanks a lot!

[justangvano]

I don't understand how this is so easy. It seems too good to be true. Thanks for the video.

[StuartColman]

Thank you sir, a really great video. Made the switch from SWAG so easy. Looking forward to more

[whyzen]

For those getting "internal error" and other issues, I found switching the container from custom to bridge actually fixed my problems, after temporarily disabling the proxy slider on cloudflare. Got SSL from Let's Encrypt working now.

[sarthakvarshney]

This is a life saver. Also, I'd like to highlight, in case with some people, at the end of the process, the domain opens not private page or the router's page, they should check their new domain on some other network to see if it's working or not. They can also connect to a VPN and then check on their network too.

[dannypopo]

Thanks for the help, even 3 years later still working guide :)

[plarzmbies]

Thank you so much for the video, was way easier than setting up swag.

[sliljekvist]

Really clean and well made guide. thanks alot!
