Quicksetup and Nginx Proxy Manager - Maybe Newbie Question

[IOTomGER]

Hello everyone,

I tried to set up Owntracks in a container under Proxmox using quicksetup. In the configuration.yaml file, I only adjusted the dns_domain, added the Opencage API key, and set up 3 friends. I commented out the email address because I don't need Let's Encrypt. I have another container where I run the Nginx Proxy Manager and added a new Proxy Host for Owntracks there. I encountered two problems, although I did not receive any error messages during installation.

After having to delete the default site from Nginx, I can log in to Owntracks via the internal IP.
I am struggling with the configuration of the Nginx Proxy Manager. What exactly do I need to enter? For the scheme, I chose HTTP, with the internal IP and port 80. Cache assets, Block Common Exploits, and Websockets Support are also enabled. (Turning them on or off does not improve the situation. Similarly, adding a custom location "/owntracks" with the same internal IP/port does not work.) When I try to access Owntracks via DNS name, I only get "404 Not Found openresty" if I use HTTP. If I try using HTTPS, nothing is shown, and I get the error message ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT in Chrome.
DNS name is correct on both sides (Proxy Manager and Owntracks). Is there some special configuration needed for the authentication?

Thank you,
Tom

If you commented out email you don't have TLS in the OwnTracks setup, so the connection from your proxy to OwnTracks will be http only (and not https). Your getting 404 with the DNS name indicates that there's no association between the DNS and your "proxy manager" (I am not familiar with the software), and whether or not the 'https' scheme works is beyond control of Quicksetup as you've not configured TLS (see above: no email address), so this sounds ok to me. The proxy manager must be able to provide basic authentication to OwnTracks.
