How to use docker service names as hosts in Nginx-Proxy-Manager

June 28, 2024

Create a network for nginx-proxy-manager to use:

docker network create nginx-proxy-manager-network

Then add this to all the compose files that want to be referenced by Nginx-Proxy-Manager:

networks:
  nginx-proxy-manager-network:
    external: true

Now you can use the service name as the host in the Nginx-Proxy-Manager GUI:

Source	Destination
