Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/832

I currently use Zevenet as a very simple load balancer for a web application. One front end definition and two back end web servers. Zevenet doesn’t contain LetsEncrypt support and so this project looks like a much better fit for what I want to do with everything else (apart from the load balancing)

I’ve previously manually configured nginx as a simple load balancer and it works fine.

I’ve tried to work out - is it possible to do such a configuration with nginx proxy manager as it stands today? Or would my query here be better suited as a feature request?

thanks for the awesome work you’ve done on this project by the way. It’s really a nice piece of work and works especially well for my home lab :-)

Load balancing is unfortunately not yet available through the UI, but is an open feature request in https://github.com/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/156

I created a config file for load balancer.
You can replace your config file, like '1.cnf' in /data/nginx/proxy_hosts
You can find it here: https://github.com/julianomeinen/nginx-reverse-proxy-with-load-balancer/blob/main/load-balancer-example
