I’m just using regular Nginx, which I’ve been using for 20 years. What does Nginx Proxy Manager or npmplus do better?
I’ve been meaning to try Angie too, which is a fork of Nginx.
Comment on Anyone using 6-day certs yet?

I migrated from vanilla Nginx Proxy Manager to NPMplus (because of CrowdSec), and it defaults to short-lived certificates. Other than temporarily making my Uptime Kuma SSL monitors completely freak out because my certificates “were too close to expiration”, everything still works exactly the same.

Not really sure they do anything “better”, it’s mainly for convenience. It’s an all-in-one solution with a nice UI and sane defaults. That helps me have a somewhat consistent setup across all my hosted services. If you’re happy with managing Nginx directly, then you probably have no reason to use these.
Makes sense! I didn’t realise it has a UI.
I’ve got a bunch of snippets in /etc/nginx/snippets/, so for example I just need to add include snippets/proxy.conf to a server block to add most of the configuration needed for a reverse proxy. I’ve been using Nginx for long enough that I just write the rest of the server block by hand.

Interesting, I didn’t know NPMplus was a thing. Looks like I’ve got some researching and possibly reconfiguring to do…
