This is a guide how to create a HTTPS Proxy via Nginx Proxy Manager.
After installing Nginx Proxy Manager and generating an SSL Certificate you can now create an HTTPS Proxy to your desired service. This is the last step to expose a service outside your local network and forward desired requests to the correct port.
- Go into the admin panel of your Nginx Proxy Manager (e.g. http://192.168.178.92:81/)
- Go to
Hosts/Proxy Hosts - Add new Proxy
- Enter the desired domain name
- Enter the forward IP (e.g. 192.168.92) and the port, leave scheme
http, if your service doesn't use SSL. Since Nginx already used HTTPS and this request is only internal, this is sufficient - Go into the SSL Tab and choose the Certificate
- Check
Force SSL
