Using Home Assistant with a Proxy

The logo for the the product Nginx Proxy Manager

I use Nginx Proxy Manager to direct things around my URLs and web sites – including Home Assistant.

Its a great product, but does mean I have to configure my applications right to route via it.

This is a notes because I had forgetten I had done a thing!

  • Remember that in Home Assistant, there will need to be an entry under “http” in “trusted proxies” section for the server doing the work.
    • This was mainly caused by the fact that I was changing from a “co-locating” the docker containers that I use for HA and NPM to ones that had to route between servers.
      • My original values listed 172.20.x.x and I now needed to list the server IP address.
