Step 4 - Nginx Proxy Manager

Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) provides a simple web interface for handling SSL certificates and reverse proxying.

Creating the Proxy Host

Section titled “Creating the Proxy Host”
  1. Open your NPM dashboard and navigate to Proxy Hosts.
  2. Click Add Proxy Host.
  3. Details Tab:
    • Domain Names: spokes.yourdomain.com
    • Scheme: http
    • Forward Hostname / IP: The internal IP address of your Spokes server (e.g., 192.168.1.50).
    • Forward Port: 8080 (or the Web UI port you decided on in Step 1).
    • Block Common Exploits: Enable
    • Websockets Support: Enable (Crucial! Spokes relies heavily on WebSockets for real-time chat and LiveKit signaling).
