## Description

A fork of Nginx Proxy Manager that bundles the OpenResty CrowdSec bouncer to block abusive traffic directly at the reverse proxy. Like Nginx Proxy Manager, it lets you add proxy hosts, subdomains, and redirects through a password-protected multi-user web UI and provisions and renews free Let's Encrypt SSL certificates automatically. It is aimed at self-hosters who want CrowdSec protection on their services without running a separate bouncer stack.

## Common questions

### What should I do if the Nginx Proxy Manager web UI does not appear after the first start?

Let the first start finish before trying to log in. If the UI still does not appear, check the logs because startup errors are retried every second and can leave you without a working login.

### Which port must be reachable for another machine or container to call the NPM API?

The backend API listens on port 3000. If that port is not reachable, API calls can fail even when the website works.

### Can I create separate users who only manage their own proxy hosts?

Yes, Nginx Proxy Manager supports multiple users who can be configured to view or manage their own hosts. Full access permissions are also available.

### Has anyone successfully used CrowdSec to monitor Nginx Proxy Manager logs in Docker?

One self-hoster reported setting CrowdSec up to monitor Nginx Proxy Manager logs via Docker. They said it appeared to be doing something, but they had not been able to test a manual ban from their own network.
