How to serve webpage in OMV 5/6 (aka missing Nginx plugin)?

Yeah you should use docker. Just install OMVextras the same way as in OMV4 and there you can install docker. I would recommend using docker-compose as well, since here you can set all settings in a simple yml file and then just start with

docker-compose up (-d)

I recommend the images of linuxserver.io. They are highly maintained and configurable, well documented and I've never had problems with them. Their nginx image: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/nginx

Thanks @HannesJo. But how to obtain reverse proxy, SSL and services' routing:

For example:

* https://my_omv_hostname/service_1

* https://my_omv_hostname/service_2

* https://my_omv_hostname/omv_admin

Or:

* https://service_1.my_omv_hostname/

* https://service_2.my_omv_hostname/

* https://omv_admin.my_omv_hostname/

Instead of what works when only docker is used:

* http://my_omv_hostname:9000

* http://my_omv_hostname:8313

* http://my_omv_hostname

All the results in google refer to the missing nginx plugin. The documentation doesn't describe the problem as well.

So I repeat the question stated by Casual User:

Thanks

Hi Kamichal

I'm not expert in OMV. But I've managed fairly easy to setup a similar setup then yours.

I would advice isntalling docker and then installing the nginx proxy manager (NPM).

Before doing that tho', you need to chagne the port of your OMV WebUI, I use 99, Anything besides 80, 81 and 443 should work.
the above mentioned ports are used by nginx proxy manage.

The cool thing about NPM is that it also handles the LetEncrypt certificate stuff. The UI is pretty simple and the documentation is also ok. I have personally setup a subdomain "wildcard" certificate, but you could request certificates for each domain you want. And I'm using cloudflare, but NPM has support for many DNS providers...

Here are the two docker-compose entries I have for my setup:

.env file (read by docker-compose and places in same folder as the docker-compose.yml file)

# id of user to run container under
PUID=1003
#docker group
PGID=993
# timezone
TZ=Europe/Copenhagen
# root docker folder
DOCKERDIR=/opt/docker


MYSQL_PORT=3306
MYSQL_HOST=mariadb
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<mariadb root password>


MYSQL_NPM_DATABASE=npm
MYSQL_NPM_USER_NAME=npm
MYSQL_NPM_USER_PASSWORD=<mariadb npm user password>

An extract of my docker-compose.yml file

version: "3.8"

networks:
  frontend:
  backend:

services:

      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}

It's not required for when docker-compose,as docker-compose does it automatically. But if you deploy the other containers "in/on" the same docker network as the npm (in my docker-compoe file named frontend) then you can just specify the name of the container and the port inside the container. Here I have done it for my sonarr service. The reason I've added two networks is that I like to separate by 'backend' and 'frontend' networks.

So if I added "- backend" to the nextwork section, then the sonarr container would be able to access my maridadb database, as it's only available in the backend network.

But it's not required, so if you don't case, that remove all the networks parts. And it should still work.

I hope it helps you. I'm not expert in OMV, I know more about docker etc
