When I force ssl any Proxy host I get "Internal Error" at NPM ! What did I miss ! ?

[chrishooper]

ok so once i proxy the host then where do I add the DNS information? Do I add it in pfsense? also do I use the IP address of the service or the IP address of NPM?

Doesnt work for me.. unable to reach https at all.. Looks like the Https port is not workng on NginxProxyManager at all

I have to try this out. I have the Kemp Loadbalancer and it looks identical to this with a different interface. I like the GUI w/ DNS Challenge., It's tiny and runs in a VM. I have a docker VM I setup. I assume you have to use docker since the install includes compose.yml and I can't find anything about this proxy manager that does not involve docker.

Bad gateway error on login screen, is this tutorial ok? 🤷‍♂
