✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

Yes

🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

Yes, verbose mode was enabled and the output is included below

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Nginx Proxy Manager

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/nginxproxymanager.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 13

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/9.1.5/80cf92a64bef6889 (running kernel: 6.17.4-2-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Upon running the default install script, and navigating to Nginx Proxy Manager's admin panel, it prompts me to create an account instead of using the default credentials (admin@example.com).

However, whatever values I use, it returns a 500 because it tries to access api/users and fails

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Run default script from https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/scripts?id=nginxproxymanager

Let the install finish

Navigate to :81

Try to create an account

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

The only error message I get from the call to api/users is {"error":{"message":"Internal Error"}} in the console. I have download the .har file if it's helpful, but I cannot attach it here it seems.

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Attaching the verbose log from the install, if it helps!

Good catch! I'll keep an eye out on the nginx repo and wait for a fix on their side. Thanks!

Workaround:

Open production.json nano /app/config/production.json
change "client": "sqlite3" to "client": "better-sqlite3",
save file
restart service systemctl restart npm

@bpctrl commented on GitHub (Feb 8, 2026): Workaround: 1. Open production.json `nano /app/config/production.json` 2. change ` "client": "sqlite3"` to ` "client": "better-sqlite3",` 3. save file 4. restart service `systemctl restart npm`

Thanks, it works.
This appears to be a script issue. Nginx Proxy Manager was updated to use the “better-sqlite3” client in knex, but the scripts are still hard-coded to use the old “sqlite3” client.

Additionally, the main script page still lists the “Default Login Credentials”, but these are no longer used as of commit github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager@0b2fa826e0
