This is a silly little experiment with Nginx Proxy Manager and localhost i thought i’d share. NOTE: Articulation is not a strong point of mine.

I create 2 domain records as seen image

I install Nginx Proxy Manager (npm) as follows,

services:
  nginx_proxy_manager:
    image: "jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest"
    container_name: nginx_proxy_manager
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
      - ./logs:/var/log/nginx
    network_mode: 'host'

Note the network_mode: ‘host’ is must be to for npm and container to work properly.

I configured npm for SSL using cloudflare domain chalenage and a propagation time of 60. My domain is *.domain.tld.

I installed Home Assistant as follows,

services:
  homeassistant:
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant
    container_name: homeassistant
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
      - NET_RAW
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - /data:/data
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    privileged: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '127.0.0.1:8123:8123'

This is how i configured npm to access the domain name.

  1. I have VLC, Piper, and Cloudflare all setup using network_mode: ‘host’

  2. EMQX is a little different, i set the UI to ‘127.0.0.1:18083:18083’.
    I had ro set mqtt access to 172.24.1.3:1883:1883 for it to work properly.

A quick note on Cloudflare, I have zero trust install on my iphone. It allow me to access the domains from anywhere without creating a forwarder or redirect.
