How do I run Nginx Proxy Manager on a Mac?
Nginx Proxy Manager wraps nginx in a friendly web UI: add proxy hosts, request Let's Encrypt certs, and set access lists with clicks instead of config files. One-click Docker install below; admin UI on :81 (older releases sign in first as [email protected] / changeme, newer ones ask you to create the admin account; change it either way). So it doesn't collide with Apache, its proxy ports are published on this Mac as 127.0.0.1:8880 (HTTP) and :8443 (HTTPS); point a Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale Funnel at :8880, or forward your router's 80/443 to them and change the bind address to take outside traffic directly.
