Hi folks,

Just set up Nginx Proxy Manager + Pihole and a new domain with Porkbun. All is working and I have all my services service.mydomain.com, however some services such as pihole seem to be strictly reachable with /admin at the end. This means with my current setup it only directs me to pihole.mydomain.com which leads to a 403 Forbidden.

This is what I have tried, but with no prevail. Not really getting the hang of this so would really appriciate a pinpoint on this :)

    Side question: Are you exposing your pihole externally?

    Add the following in Advanced tab

    location / {   return 301 /admin;}location /admin {   proxy_pass [url=http://<Pi-hole-IP>:<Pi-hole-Port>/admin;]http://<Pi-hole-IP>:<Pi-hole-Port>/admin;[/url]   proxy_set_header Host $host;   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;}

    replace the IP and port

      Thank you for providing this, however when i now browse to pihole.mydomain.com it gives me a 404, and the URL is directed to pihole.mydomain.com/admin:8118. E.g. the port is somehow ending up at the end of the url haha.

        @Sunny’ 🌻 that must not happen, did you remove the custom location from before? The above is working with my pihole setup

            If you’re going to be playing with custom locations and such, it might be worth using nginx directly instead of through the limitations of NPM.
