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

Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation of Nginx Proxy Manager on Fedora Server, make sure you have these requirements in place:

Step 1: Update the System

Before installing any packages, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest version to ensure all the latest security patches and bug fixes are installed. You can update the system by running the following command in your terminal:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Nginx

Nginx is a web server that will be used by Nginx Proxy Manager to serve web pages. You can install Nginx using the following command:

sudo dnf install nginx -y

Once the installation is complete, start the Nginx service and enable it to start automatically at boot time using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start nginx

sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Nginx Proxy Manager requires a database to store the configuration data. We will use MariaDB, a popular open-source relational database management system, as our database. Install MariaDB using the following command:

sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server -y

Once the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start automatically at boot time using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

sudo systemctl enable mariadb

To secure your MariaDB installation, run the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the on-screen prompts and set a strong password for the MariaDB root user.

Step 4: Install Node.js and NPM

Nginx Proxy Manager is built with Node.js, a popular JavaScript runtime, and requires NPM, the Node.js package manager, to install the necessary dependencies. Install them using the following commands:

sudo dnf install nodejs -y

sudo dnf install npm -y

Verify that Node.js and NPM are installed by running the following commands:

node -v

npm -v

Step 5: Install Nginx Proxy Manager

Now, we can proceed to install Nginx Proxy Manager. We will use Git to clone the Nginx Proxy Manager repository and install the required dependencies. Run the following commands:

sudo dnf install git -y

sudo git clone https://github.com/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager.git /opt/proxy-manager

cd /opt/proxy-manager

sudo npm install

Once the installation is complete, start the Nginx Proxy Manager service using the following command:

sudo npm start

Nginx Proxy Manager should now be up and running. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://:81.

The first time you access Nginx Proxy Manager, you will be prompted to create a user and password. After that, you will be logged in to the dashboard where you can start configuring your reverse proxies.

To add a new proxy, select the "Proxies" menu in the left sidebar and click the "Add Proxy Host" button. Follow the on-screen prompts and configure your proxy as needed.
