## Description

🛠️ This BASH script enables the management of ![Nginx Proxy Manager](https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager?utm_source=nginx-proxy-manager) through its **API**.

🔑 **Automatically generates** and **manages tokens**, ensuring their validity, so you don't have to worry about token expiration.

⚙️ Provides functionalities such as creating and deleting proxy hosts, managing users, displaying configurations, creating **BACKUPS**, and more.

Ce script permet de gérer Nginx Proxy Manager via l'API. Il fournit des fonctionnalités telles que la création de hosts proxy, la gestion des utilisateurs, et l'affichage des configurations avec creation de BACKUP !

## Examples
```bash
   Backup First !
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --backup

   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh -d example.com -i 192.168.1.10 -p 8080 (check default values below)
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --show-default
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --create-user newuser password123 user@example.com
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --delete-user 'username'
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --list-hosts

   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --ssl-host-enable 10
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --generate-cert example.com user@example.com --custom (not finish)

 Advanced proxy tab example:
   ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh -d example.com -i 192.168.1.10 -p 8080 -a 'proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;'

```
 

#### Enable SSL for the Host:

  Assuming the host ID is *10*, you would enable SSL for the host as follows:

    ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --ssl-host-enable 10

#### Verifying the Configuration

  After running the above commands, you can verify the SSL configuration by checking the details of the proxy host.

    ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli.sh --show-host 10

This command will show the full details of the proxy host with ID *10*, including whether SSL is enabled.

By following these steps, you can enable SSL for your proxy host for the first time using Let's Encrypt.

You should now see the parameters activated: 
  - "ssl_forced": 1,
  - "letsencrypt_agree": true,
  - "http2_support": 1

```
 ./nginx_proxy_manager_cli_.sh --show-host 10

 ✅ Nginx url: http://127.0.0.1:81/api
 ✅ The token is valid. Expiry: 2025-07-12T08:14:58.521Z
