It builds upon the original's goal of simplifying TLS termination and host management, while introducing a wealth of new features focused on security, performance, and advanced configurability. Whether you're a seasoned administrator or just starting with self-hosting, NPMplus provides tools to secure and optimize your web services. ## Installation Getting started with NPMplus is straightforward, primarily leveraging Docker and Docker Compose for deployment. Here's a quick guide to set it up: 1. **Install Docker and Docker Compose**: Ensure you have Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed on your system. You can find detailed instructions in the official Docker documentation. * [Docker Install documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install) (opens in a new tab) * [Docker Compose Install documentation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux) (opens in a new tab) 2. **Download `compose.yaml`**: Obtain the latest `compose.yaml` file from the NPMplus GitHub repository. * [Download `compose.yaml`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus/refs/heads/develop/compose.yaml) (opens in a new tab) 3. **Adjust Configuration**: Modify the `TZ` (timezone) and `ACME_EMAIL` environment variables in the `compose.yaml` to match your requirements. Review other environment options for further customization. 4. **Start NPMplus**: Navigate to the directory containing your `compose.yaml` file and run the following command: bash docker compose up -d 5. **Access Admin UI**: Once the container is running, connect to the admin interface via `https://:81`. The default admin email is `admin@example.org`, and the initial unique password will be logged to the NPMplus Docker logs, which you should change immediately. ## Examples of Key Features NPMplus introduces a wide array of features that significantly enhance its capabilities. Here are some notable examples: * **HTTP/3 (QUIC) Protocol Support**: Leverage the latest HTTP/3 protocol for faster and more efficient web traffic, requiring you to expose HTTPS with UDP. * **CrowdSec IPS Integration**: Enhance your security posture by integrating CrowdSec IPS, providing robust intrusion prevention capabilities. Configuration details are available in the README. * **Goaccess Included**: Gain insights into your web traffic with Goaccess, which runs by default on `https://:91` when enabled in your `compose.yaml`. * **ModSecurity Support**: Implement ModSecurity with the Core Rule Set for advanced web application firewall protection, though careful tuning is often required to avoid overblocking. * **Load Balancing**: Configure load balancing for your backend services by editing custom Nginx configuration files, allowing for improved availability and performance. * **Enhanced TLS Security**: Only enables TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols, includes ML-KEM support, and offers OCSP Stapling/Must-Staple for stronger security. * **Automatic Database Vacuum & Cert Cleaning**: For SQLite users, NPMplus automatically vacuums the database and cleans old, invalid Certbot certificates, simplifying maintenance. ## Why Use NPMplus? NPMplus stands out as a superior choice for several reasons, particularly for those seeking more control, security, and performance than the original Nginx Proxy Manager offers: * **Advanced Security Features**: With support for HTTP/3, CrowdSec, ModSecurity, and modern TLS protocols (TLSv1.2/1.3, ML-KEM, OCSP Stapling), NPMplus provides a significantly more secure environment for your web applications. * **Performance Optimizations**: Features like HTTP/3, faster TLS certificate creation (by reducing Nginx reloads), and Brotli compression contribute to a snappier and more responsive user experience. * **Extensive Customization**: Beyond the standard UI, NPMplus offers numerous environment variables and custom Nginx configuration points, allowing expert users to fine-tune every aspect of their proxy setup, including load balancing and external authentication integrations (Anubis, Tinyauth, Authelia, Authentik). * **Improved Maintainability**: Automatic database vacuuming and certificate cleaning reduce manual overhead, while a smaller Docker image based on Alpine Linux ensures efficiency. * **Community-Driven Enhancements**: As an active fork, NPMplus benefits from continuous development, addressing issues and introducing features based on community needs and contributions. ## Links * **GitHub Repository**: [https://github.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus](https://github.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus) (opens in a new tab) * **Discussions/Support**: [https://github.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus/discussions](https://github.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus/discussions) (opens in a new tab) * **Discord**: [https://discord.gg/y8DhYhv427](https://discord.gg/y8DhYhv427) (opens in a new tab) * **Reddit**: [https://reddit.com/r/NPMplus](https://reddit.com/r/NPMplus) (opens in a new tab)
