Nginx Proxy Manager

Expose your services easily and securely.

Visit Nginx Proxy Manager

Nginx Proxy Manager is a Docker container with a built-in web application for managing Nginx proxy hosts. It exposes private network web services so they can be reached from outside the local network, and it includes built-in Let's Encrypt support for issuing SSL certificates that renew automatically.

The interface is based on Tabler and supports multiple users, with permissions that let accounts view or manage their own hosts, including full access options. The application runs as a Docker image and requires only a database. It is released under the MIT License.

It is aimed at users who need to publish web services from a private network, including home networks, and who want certificate handling managed within the same tool. The pages do not describe paid editions, trials, or seat-based or usage-based packaging.
