⚠️ This script is provided for demo and testing purposes only. Not intended for production use.

Grab the automated bash script from GitHub to follow along with the video.

Tutorial Steps

The script automatically installs Docker if missing, generates secure DB credentials, creates the docker-compose.yml and starts everything.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/networking/npm/npm-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x npm-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash npm-ubuntu.sh

Open your browser and go to the NPM admin UI:

http://<your-server-ip>:81

Field	Value
Email	admin@example.com
Password	changeme

⚠️ Change your credentials immediately after first login!

Go to Proxy Hosts → Add Proxy Host, fill in your domain name and forward it to your internal service. Enable SSL with Let's Encrypt in the SSL tab.
