NPMplus

NPMplus is a community fork of Nginx Proxy Manager that provides a web-based UI to manage Nginx as a reverse proxy for self-hosted services. It focuses on modern protocol support, stronger security defaults, and additional integrations while keeping a familiar NPM workflow.

Key Features

• Web UI to manage reverse proxy hosts and TLS certificates
• HTTP/3 (QUIC) support for HTTPS endpoints
• ACME profile support and improved handling of alternative ACME servers and options like OCSP and must-staple
• OIDC authentication support
• Hardened TLS settings, plus modern compression support (zstd and brotli)
• Optional integrations for CrowdSec and openappsec
• Built-in access logging analytics via GoAccess
• Additional hosting options such as file serving and optional PHP-FPM support

Use Cases

• Central reverse proxy for multiple homelab or internal services with automated certificates
• Adding OIDC-based login in front of protected services
• Running a hardened, modern Nginx proxy with HTTP/3 enabled

Limitations and Considerations

• Database backends beyond SQLite may work but are not recommended or supported by the project
• Requires exposing UDP on 443 to use HTTP/3 (QUIC)
• Supported CPU architectures are limited compared to upstream

NPMplus is a practical choice for users who like Nginx Proxy Manager’s UI but want more modern protocol support and additional security-focused features. It is especially suited for homelabs and small environments that need convenient TLS and proxy management with optional advanced integrations.
