I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I’d like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I’m going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

    I am using nginx on a separate machine (VM) I have yet to try it in docker, I just have not found a reason to change it yet.

    I’ve tried npm, caddy and traefik but they are always way more complicated then adding a new config file in nginx…

    I feel the others add too much to the docker configs and limit what can be added to the reverse proxy. I have control of access from the nginx server, without having to change the apps configuration.

    NPM is the closest to what I would like (only needing the same network in docker) if I go the docker way but for some reason it never works as it should when I configure it. So I am sticking to plain nginx.
