I currently have Nginx Proxy Manager running through portainer in a VM on my truenas server but I’d like to have it running directly on my opnsense router.
I tried to get it running before I set it up in docker but I couldn’t manage to get the Nginx plugin working properly. Is there an Nginx plug-in available for opnsense that has the same web front end?
The same front end? Nah it has it’s own menus and such. If you’re familiar with the anatomy of the conf files you can piece each sub-menu within the plugin to it’s corresponding section in the conf. Not everything that I need was represented. There is a way to inject custom blocks, but it’s pretty cumbersome.
Honestly? I’m considering going back to a dedicated nginx host for two reasons. Firstly it’s just easier to configure. Secondly, I’m sending internal traffic to the public DNS addresses for some of the services and I’m not 100% positive those fuck-heads over at Comcast aren’t charging me for the hairpin route. If I had a local, internal proxy, I could avoid that.
The only reason I want it on the router is if either my vm or my server go down for whatever reason I have no access. My router is way overkill hardware wise (it’s running opnsense and Adblocking and I’ve never seen above 2%) cpu usage.
