| # Nginx Proxy Manager fronting the playbook's integrated Traefik reverse-proxy | ||||
|  | ||||
| Similar to standard nginx, [Nginx Proxy Manager](https://nginxproxymanager.com/) provides nginx capabilities but inside a pre-built Docker container. With the ability for managing proxy hosts and automatic SSL certificates via a simple web interface. | ||||
|  | ||||
| This page summarizes how to use Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to front the integrated [Traefik](https://traefik.io/) reverse-proxy webserver with another reverse-proxy. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Prerequisite configuration | ||||
|  | ||||
| To get started, first follow the [front the integrated reverse-proxy webserver with another reverse-proxy](../../../docs/configuring-playbook-own-webserver.md#fronting-the-integrated-reverse-proxy-webserver-with-another-reverse-proxy) instructions and update your playbook's configuration (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`). | ||||
|  | ||||
| If Matrix federation is enabled, then you will need to make changes to [NPM's Docker configuration](https://nginxproxymanager.com/guide/#quick-setup). By default NPM has access to ports 443, 80 and 81, but you would also need to **provide access to the federation ports** `8448` and `8449`. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| ## Using Nginx Proxy Manager | ||||
|  | ||||
| You'll need to create two proxy hosts in NPM for matrix web and federation traffic. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Open the 'Proxy Hosts' page in the NPM web interface and select `Add Proxy Host`, the first being for matrix web traffic. Apply the proxys configuration like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```md | ||||
| # Details | ||||
| # Matrix web proxy config | ||||
| Domain Names: matrix.DOMAIN | ||||
| Scheme: http | ||||
| Forward Hostname/IP: IP-ADDRESS-OF-YOUR-MATRIX | ||||
| Forward Port: 81 | ||||
|  | ||||
| # Custom locations | ||||
| # Add one custom location | ||||
| Define location: / | ||||
| Scheme: http | ||||
| Forward Hostname/IP: IP-ADDRESS-OF-YOUR-MATRIX | ||||
| Forward Port: 81 | ||||
| Custom config: | ||||
|     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; | ||||
|     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; | ||||

|     client_max_body_size 50M; | ||||
|  | ||||
| # SSL | ||||
| # Either 'Request a new certificate' or select an existing one | ||||
| SSL Certificate: matrix.DOMAIN or *.DOMAIN | ||||
| Force SSL: true | ||||
| HTTP/2 Support: true | ||||
| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Again, under the 'Proxy Hosts' page select `Add Proxy Host`, this time for your federation traffic. Apply the proxys configuration like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
| ```md | ||||
| # Details | ||||
| # Matrix Federation proxy config | ||||
| Domain Names: matrix.DOMAIN:8448 | ||||
| Scheme: http | ||||
| Forward Hostname/IP: IP-ADDRESS-OF-YOUR-MATRIX | ||||
| Forward Port: 8449 | ||||
|  | ||||
| # Custom locations | ||||
| # Add one custom location | ||||
| Define location: / | ||||
| Scheme: http | ||||
| Forward Hostname/IP: IP-ADDRESS-OF-YOUR-MATRIX | ||||
| Forward Port: 8449 | ||||
| Custom config: | ||||
|     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; | ||||
|     proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; | ||||
|     client_max_body_size 50M; | ||||
|  | ||||
| # SSL | ||||
| # Either 'Request a new certificate' or select an existing one | ||||
| SSL Certificate: matrix.DOMAIN or *.DOMAIN | ||||
| Force SSL: true | ||||
| HTTP/2 Support: true | ||||
|  | ||||
| # Advanced | ||||
| # Allows NPM to listen on the federation port | ||||
| Custom Nginx Configuration: listen 8448 ssl http2; | ||||
| ``` | ||||
|  | ||||
| Also note, NPM would need to be configured for whatever other services you are using. For example, you would need to create additional proxy hosts for `element.DOMAIN` or `jitsi.DOMAIN`, which would use the forwarding port `81`. | ||||

|  | ||||
| This configuration **disables SSL certificate retrieval**, so you will **need to obtain SSL certificates manually** (e.g. by using [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) and set the appropriate path in `matrix.conf`. In the example nginx configuration, a single certificate is used for all subdomains (`matrix.DOMAIN`, `element.DOMAIN`, etc.). For your setup, may wish to change this and use separate `server` blocks and separate certificate files for each host. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Also note that your copy of the `matrix.conf` file has to be adapted to whatever services you are using. For example, remove `element.domain.com` from the `server_name` list if you don't use [Element](../../../docs/configuring-playbook-client-element.md) web client or add `dimension.domain.com` to it if you do use the [Dimension](../../../docs/configuring-playbook-dimension.md) integration manager. | ||||
