Deploying LibreChat with multiple containers that is behind Nginx Proxy Manager in Digital Ocean

[stefanusz]

Hi everyone,

I'm needing some help in deploying this to my existing droplet in digital ocean. Searching around does not seem there's one covering this/ I don't understand it enough.

Currently I have nginx proxy manager that do a reverse proxy in the droplet with 5 containers running on it.

I have not expose any ports to the host except the nginx proxy manager (screenshot showing this). The aim will be for me to set up another entry within nginx proxy manager to route it to LibreChat, so that I do not need to expose other ports to the host except via nginx proxy manager.

My questions are :

1. Do i need the nginx client that's declared within LibreChat deploy-compose.yml in this set up?
2. I'm assuming I can change the deploy-compose for api section to use "expose" to expose the internal port only, though what do I need to change for the nginx container?

I'm getting confuse on this part.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

This is to update in case someone might need to have this info.

So if you have a similar set up as above like me, you can take out the nginx client.

Just expose the LibreChat itself and port forward via your proxy manager to 3080 port for example. So you do not need to expose any ports at all if that is your current set up.

At the moment things seems to be working so hopefully it stays that way :)
