Installing Nginx Proxy Manager on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Nginx Proxy Manager is a user-friendly interface to manage Nginx Server, which is responsible for serving websites and acting as a reverse proxy server. It provides a convenient way to manage SSL certificates, create custom domains, and routing based on host, path, or other criteria.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Nginx Proxy Manager on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following requirements:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest.
• Administrative privileges to perform the installation.
• Access to the internet to download the installation package.

Step 1 - Install Docker

Nginx Proxy Manager is a Docker-based application, and we need to install Docker on our system. Here are the steps to install Docker:

1. Log in to your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance with administrative privileges.
2. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo dnf install docker

3. Once the installation is complete, start the Docker service and enable it to start on boot:

sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

4. Verify the installation by running the following command:

sudo docker version

You should get the Docker version details if the installation was successful.

Step 2 - Install Nginx Proxy Manager

Now that we have Docker installed on our system, we can proceed with the installation of Nginx Proxy Manager. Here are the steps to install the application:

1. Create a new directory where you want to store the application data. We will create a directory called "nginx-proxy-manager."

sudo mkdir -p /opt/nginx-proxy-manager/{data,letsencrypt,logs}

2. Change the ownership of the directory to the Docker user, which is "docker" in Fedora CoreOS Latest.

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/nginx-proxy-manager

3. Pull the Nginx Proxy Manager image from the Docker Hub using the following command:

sudo docker pull jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest

4. Create a new Docker container using the following command:

sudo docker run -d \
  --name nginx-proxy-manager \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 81:81 \
  -p 443:443 \
  -v /opt/nginx-proxy-manager:/config:z \
  jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest

This command creates a new Docker container named "nginx-proxy-manager" and maps the ports 80, 81, and 443 to the host. It also mounts the "/opt/nginx-proxy-manager" directory as a volume inside the container, where the application will store its data and logs.

5. Wait for a few minutes for the application to start, and then access the Nginx Proxy Manager web interface by navigating to "http://:81" in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nginx Proxy Manager on your Fedora CoreOS Latest instance.

Conclusion

Nginx Proxy Manager is an excellent tool to manage and configure the Nginx Server, providing an intuitive web interface that simplifies the process. In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Nginx Proxy Manager on Fedora CoreOS Latest, step by step.
