Docker Install documentation

Docker-Compose Install documentation

Create a docker-compose.yml file similar to this:


version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '81:81'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

Bring up your stack by running


docker-compose up -d

Log in to the Admin UI

When your docker container is running, connect to it on port 81 for the admin interface. Sometimes this can take a little bit because of the entropy of keys.
