I’m willing to be the dumbest member of this community. But on the off chance anyone else doesn’t understand what problem Nginx Proxy Manager solves:
Many ISPs only allow traffic on ports 80 and 443. But distinct from a website where all pages are part of a single process, separate web apps (photos, blogs, calendar, etc) are all made by different people and need their own port.
Nginx Proxy Manager can therefore be the only thing listening at ports 80/443 and then can seamlessly forward the user to the correct port using HTTPS.
Smart people: constructive critiques are welcomed.












Crap, I’m in the process of setting up a headless Ubuntu server on my desktop to eek the maximum amount of CPU/GPU/RAM out of it for AI stuff and was planning on controlling it via my laptop.
I don’t particularly care about privacy on that desktop, but would my ignorance of security hardening open me up to rogue hackers using my machine for their own purposes if I were to set it up so I could control it remotely (not just hardwired)?
