I have been trying to wrap my head around Nginx proxy manager by reading guides. I tried using the linuxserver docker-compose to set it up and I couldn’t figure it out. Finally I checked out the office Nginx image…
I don’t know why I didn’t try that one first. The linuxserver images are usually easier to set up, but not this one.
All of this was for Overseerr/Plex. Here was the progression:
“Tell me what you want and I’ll get it.”
“Whenever you’re on my WiFi, go to INTERNAL.IP:5055 and you can request whatever.”
“Go to PUBLIC.IP:5055 and you can request stuff.”
“Go to lastname.duckdns.org and you can request stuff.”
And now… I’m still on DuckDNS but it’s managed by Nginx and it’s through HTTPS!
What should I do next?
I had no idea you could create DNS records through Nginx. I just wrote a python script that uses Cloudflare’s API for that.
You can? I set up a little docker image I found that will update DNS records for cloudflare
