• Check firewall settings
• Confirm correct port mapping

Performance issues

• Monitor resource usage: docker stats
• Check available disk space: df -h
• Review service logs for errors

# Check service status
docker-compose ps

# View real-time logs
docker-compose logs -f nginx_proxy_manager

# Restart service
docker-compose restart nginx_proxy_manager

# Update service
docker-compose pull nginx_proxy_manager
docker-compose up -d nginx_proxy_manager
