Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM), the popular open-source tool for managing Nginx proxy hosts with a user-friendly interface, has just released version 2.12.4, with a mix of under-the-hood improvements, bug fixes, and expanded DNS provider support for Certbot.
This release focuses on refining the API, optimizing performance, and squashing a few pesky bugs. Among the notable changes:
- API Schema Improvements ensure better consistency in API responses.
- Startup time reduction via an optimized Certbot ownership script, which should make containerized deployments a bit snappier.
- Fixed incorrect API status codes and resolved a 500 error on the Streams list page, smoothing out error handling.
- SQLite installation fixes correct a previously problematic Docker Compose configuration.
- A new
IP_RANGES_FETCH_ENABLED
environment variable gives admins more control over IP range fetching behavior.
On the UI side, a small tweak makes textarea fonts monospace, improving readability for configuration edits.
The certbot plugin ecosystem sees substantial growth in this release, welcoming numerous new DNS providers, including First Domains, Baidu, CDMon, Selectel v2, Spaceship, nic.ru, and DDNSS. Plus, several existing plugins also received updates, including fixes for DomainOffensive, Cloudflare, Gandi, and Strato.
For users running NPM in production, upgrading to 2.12.4 is recommended. Refer to the changelog for more information on all changes in the new version.
