Latest UDM Firmware and NGINX Proxy Manager

[mdezotti]

I have a Unifi Dream Machine running UnifiOS v3.1.16 and Network 8.0.7.

As podman isn't available, I followed this guide https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/nspawn-container to install Adguard Home. I'm considering adding Nginx Proxy Manager to the same container. Is it possible to do so?

Ultimately, I aim to use user-friendly names (like printer.homenet.com, homeassistant.homenet.com, grafana.homenet.com) for web interfaces exposed by a server (on different ports) or certain appliances on my local network.

Is there a more efficient way to achieve this?

Thank you.

I personally would look at Envoy or Traefik, they have very fleixble backends for the config, NGiNX Is kinda has been (as a former NGiNX Plus customer and lover)

Or install PiHole to be your DNS server, allowing you to create friendly DNS CNAME aliases. I get you want to abstract the port too, but I wouldn't want to put anything more impactful than simple DNS stuff on the UDM. I would put nginx/Traefik on a VM/container elsewhere in the environment and not within the UDM.

I have moved to Technitum from PiHole and run Traefik on a separate server. If you want to run it on your UDM, go for it. There is no reason it's a bad idea like many suggest. Just be mindful of your requirements and that the hardware you put your load balancer / ingress on will meet your needs in terms of throughput, uptime, and blast radius, the last being the most important probably when running other services on the UDM. make sure you renice to not eat the world.
