Nginx login

Posted by SSJNobleSix

Hello, I am hitting a bit of a roadblock. I'm trying to get into Nginx Proxy Manager so I can set up a reverse proxy to share my jelly fin server with my family. But I keep getting hit with the invalid email/password error. I've used the default admin@example.com / chamgeme credentials to log in but it won't work. I'm running SparkBox on my windows PC and trying to use the NPM that was installed with my initial install. should I try installing another NPM container? will that even work? just thinking of what options are possible. can someone help? Thanks

Good news — you don't need to install a second copy, and nothing is broken. Those admin@example.com / changeme details are an old default SparkBox no longer uses, which is exactly why it keeps rejecting your login. Your Nginx Proxy Manager is already installed and running; it just has different details. Open it at http://your-box-ip:81 — the same IP you use for the dashboard, only a different port. Sign in with the email admin@sparkbox.local, and the password SparkBox generated for you: in the dashboard, go to Settings → Service Passwords and copy the Nginx Proxy Manager entry.

I didn't even know ther was a service passwords tab in setting. That's exactly what I need to get into Nginx. Thank you so much!

Glad that tab did the trick — enjoy setting it up!
