Order Nginx Proxy Manager from the Marketplace App tab as shown in how to order a VPS with a one-click app. When the install card on your server page shows the finished result, follow the steps below.
What you get
Nginx Proxy Manager, installed with Docker. It needs 1 GB of memory and takes 4 to 8 minutes, and Docker is installed first if it is not there.
1. Sign in and change the login
Open the address on the server page: http://your-server-ip:81/. The first login is admin@example.com with the password changeme. Change both at your first sign-in. Until you do, anyone who finds the page can use those defaults.
2. Send a domain to an app
- Point your domain at the server (guide).
- In the panel add a Proxy Host, enter the domain, and the address and port of the app it should forward to.
- On the SSL tab request a free certificate.
Next steps
- Connect to your VPS with SSH to run the commands above.
- Secure your new VPS before you put real data on it.
- Something not working? See what happens after you order an app, or open a ticket from Support.
