Nginx Proxy Manager

Use these steps to run Nginx Proxy Manager with Docker Compose.

Create the Compose File​

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the Nginx Proxy Manager service:

services:
  app:
    image: docker.io/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "81:81"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    environment:
      INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL: ${INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL}
      INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD: ${INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD}

Create the Environment File​

Create a .env file in the same directory as docker-compose.yml:

INITIAL_ADMIN_EMAIL=my@example.com
INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=mypassword1

Start Nginx Proxy Manager​

Run Docker Compose from the directory containing both files:

docker compose up -d

The admin UI will be available at http://localhost:81.
