Examples

   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
