Follow the below steps to install Nginx Proxy Manager on Void Linux.
Before installing Nginx Proxy Manager, you should make sure that all the dependencies are installed on your system. Open the terminal and run the following command:

Extract the downloaded file using the following command:
sudo tar xvzf nginx-proxy-manager.tar.gz -C /opt/
Change the ownership of the extracted directory using the following command:
sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /opt/nginx-proxy-manager/
Create a new systemd unit file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/nginx-proxy-manager.service
Add the following content to the file:
[Unit]

You should configure the firewall settings to allow traffic on port 80 and 443. Use the following commands to open the ports:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
Restart the firewall using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart iptables
Now, you can access the Nginx Proxy Manager web interface on your web browser using the IP address of your server and port 81. The default username is "admin" and password is "changeme".

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Nginx Proxy Manager on Void Linux. You can now use it to create reverse proxies, load balancers, and application gateways for your web services.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
