Is anyone successfully running Nginx in opnsense? (self.selfhosted)

I currently have Nginx Proxy Manager running through portainer in a VM on my truenas server but I’d like to have it running directly on my opnsense router.

I tried to get it running before I set it up in docker but I couldn’t manage to get the Nginx plugin working properly. Is there an Nginx plug-in available for opnsense that has the same web front end?

I replied to a nginx plugin question years ago on Reddit. Simple fact is, the plugin is really just designed to host a simple-ish webpage. https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/klauwb/setting_up_a_web_server_on_my_opnsense_box_with/

I recommend you serve whatever you want to serving on vm's/whatever on your internal network, and then use HAProxy (Built-in) to do the forwarding via opnsense. HAProxy is a High Availability and Performance proxy and load balancer, it does what nginx proxy manager does and more.
