Came here to suggest swag
I would also suggest Swag , and with docker mods, u can replicate traefik's docker label feature for most known services
As a non-technical selfhoster who just does this as a hobby I swear by swag, more accessible than nginx alone and just works, I've literally had zero issues. Any attempts to try other proxys have had me going back lol.
Does it come with a GUI or is it config files only?
No GUI but documentation is great with lots of hand holding lol
It comes with a folder full of premade config files for various services that you just rename from .example to .conf. And off chance you use some niche service that doesn't have one yet you can just use their general template and whip one up.
There is a dashboard addon for status/info (no configuration)
NGP is the only one with a UI that's decent IMO.
But for CLI Caddy is very good and would be much easier to sync the config file between instances.
Just out of curiousity:
I’ve been running several instances nginx proxy manager for a while and using a python script I wrote to keep them synchronised
Why are you running multiple instances? I assume because of HA/failover. But do you really need that? I know that most setups already have a single point of failure elsewhere. IMHO you are better off by making the reverse proxy or host of the reverse proxy more stable. I even multiple point of failures, such as my internet connection and modem.
An alternative would be to front your Nginx Proxy Manager with another proxy, such as HAProxy or Traefik. Both are designed for HA deployment and can also do health checks to decide what traffic to redirect to what endpoint. An HAProxy example and a Traefik example.
I use Caddy and its config file is really simple. Documentation is okay. Gotta navigate a bit but good enough for simple stuff.
I've actually been meaning to switch to Nginx because of OpenResty though.
I am using Caddy and it works fine and it is very easy to be set up. Also, it supports by default self-signed tls certificate as a CA, so you can copy it and install it to other devices.
