I have configured my HA to run off 1 URL without a port number in the path through duckdns and NGINX proxy manager, which works fine. However, I cannot get to my NGINX Proxy Manager admin through the port 81 (which it is configured to) via the domain name and 81 port (https://[CUSTOM].duckdns.org:81) since the NPM web ui runs off http. How do I configure that so it directs to the unsecure url, or if possible, have NPM run in https so I can just go to my web ui through a custom subdirectory (https://[CUSTOM].duckdns.org/nginx/)?
One way would be to use a sub-sub-domain on duckdns and have NPM proxy that to port 81. So for example “https://npm.yourname.duckdns.org” proxies to “http://your-ha-server:81”. This won’t magically fix the “Open Web UI” button, but will give you a path there. You don’t need to set anything special up on duckdns for this to work, as letsencrypt uses a wildcard certificate (*.yourname.duckdns.org).
However, do you really want to open NPM to the internet nasties? On the very-very-rare occasion I need access to NPM from outside home I do so via something with 2FA (I use Google Remote Desktop).
I tried it this way:
location /nginx/ {
rewrite /nginx(/.*) $1 break;
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.102:81;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Accept-Encoding "";
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_redirect off;
}
which seems to work (kinda) but now I am presented with a white screen. What is the issue now? UI Screenshot added.
I actually just want to be able to click on my addon button and go to the UI while I am local. When I do I get a 404 issue and need to actually punch in my IP:8123, not my duckdns.org url (which I have set to be internal and external url)
