Nginx Advanced Setup

https://nginxproxymanager.com/advanced-config/

Will need to create Network in Portainer

1. Portainer > Networks > Add network > Name=nginx > Driver=bridge > IPV4 Network configuration: Subnet=172.25.0.0/16 Gateway=172.25.0.1
2. Leave rest default/blank (change IPs as needed)
3. After created you can uncomment the networks part of the yml file for nginxproxymanager
4. You will need to add this to every docker container(compose file) that you want Nginx to redirect

networks:
  default:
    external: true
    name: nginx

6. Comment out the ports on any docker container(ie wordpress) you add this external network in
7. You will use the original port (ie 80, whichever port is to the right in the compose file) for the redirect port in the setup
8. You will use the Docker name instead of the IP

Nginx troubleshooting

Most of these issues I came across while using Cloudflare:

1. If having an error message for too many redirects: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/852
   "The cloudflare proxy does not actually follow the redirect nginx sends, which results in this error. You probably need to set the SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full or Full (Strict) or remove the additional CloudFlare proxy."
