The door to your stack, watched.
When Nginx Proxy Manager stops, every service behind it disappears from outside your house. Tillarr watches its admin API and reads its version, so a down proxy shows on Home next to the services behind it.
The admin API answers that first request without signing in, so watching needs no Nginx Proxy Manager account.
What you see
- Whether it answers, how quickly, and which address answered
- Its version, read without a key
- A tap to open its own web page
Connect Nginx Proxy Manager
What to have ready when you add it in Tillarr.
- Its address. Usually http://your-server:81. Add a remote address too, and Tillarr uses it when home doesn't answer.
- Nothing else. Watching needs no key and no login, so it's free and can't change anything in Nginx Proxy Manager.
Good to know
- Point Tillarr at the admin port, 81, rather than a proxied host: that's where the check looks.
Behind a sign-in page
If a sign-in page guards Nginx Proxy Manager, let /api/ through so the check can reach it. The remote access guide shows how.
How Tillarr checks Nginx Proxy Manager
Without a key, Tillarr asks for /api/ to see that Nginx Proxy Manager is up, and reads its version from the answer. Every request goes from your device straight to your server, never through us.
Questions
Can Tillarr edit my proxy hosts?
No. Tillarr watches Nginx Proxy Manager; its admin page manages hosts.
Does a down proxy break Tillarr?
Only for remote addresses that go through it. At home, Tillarr uses each service's local address.
