I have been self-hosting for a while now with Traefik. It works, but I'd like to give Nginx Proxy Manager a try, it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker.

Edit: btw I'm going to try this out on my RPI, not my hetzner vps, so no risk of breaking anything

I like Zoraxy it has a lot of features, like Zerotier integration, status monitoring etc and a clean UI

Runs fine for my needs and fully replaced NPM for me 😊

You can run it in docker or as a single binary directly

I use nginx for static websites and TLS passthrough servers.

I use traefik as a reverse proxy for sites with many services and SSO.

Nginx is definitely easier to configure for simple things. But I prefer traefik for more complex setups.

I used NPM, It was pretty solid

Then I changed headspace and now I run SearXNG through cloudflare, and tailscale everything that doesn't need to be public.

NPM was the first one that worked for me. I used a YouTube tutorial. I tried Nginx and Caddy, but couldn't figure them out. For context, I try to run anything I can out of Docker, which adds some complexity I think. I must not have been doing the templates correctly or something.

I plan on trying to go for Nginx or Caddy later, but right now NPM works wonders for my use case.

I really like Zoraxy. Similar to NPM but it's its own thing and I like it a lot more

I know how to use raw nginx/Caddy/traefik to do it, but I find the WebUI and all the extra features Zoraxy has to be very convenient and easy to use.

having tried many in past, i always go back to haproxy. it has everything required as proxy and load balancer while also being very efficient.

I highly recommend npm. It's also the only one I've used, so please keep that in mind.

I use Synology integrated reverse proxy, stupidly simple and always works for me (only if IPv6 doesn't fuck up itself, I can't fallback to IPv4 because that is CGNATED), if I am missing features that other options have I would like to know :)

This the main reason I switched from traefik, I can have certificates on all my internal stuff and not just on my docker host. I personally love NPM but maybe I'll give NPMPlus a try, I have never heard of it.

I use and love nginx.

Maybe a bit more old fashioned than more modern solutions, but steady solid and versatile. I use it as reverse proxy ad well as proxy for php stuff and more.
