Nginx Proxy Manager puts a friendly web interface on nginx reverse proxying: add a host, pick the internal service, click for a Let's Encrypt certificate, done. For many people it is the tool that made HTTPS on the homelab feel achievable.

Complex routing scenarios eventually hit the limits of what the UI expresses, and power users tend to graduate to Caddy or Traefik configs. But as the front door for a Docker host full of services, it is hard to beat for approachability.

Start here if reverse proxies are new to you; you may never need to leave.
