Does nginxproxymanager support post-hooks?

I'm planning to deploy npm (as a Docker container) as a replacement for baremetal certbot.

Does npm support configuring post-hooks on a certificate update? I have two servers that are (for separation-of-concerns reasons) running baremetal influx and grafana, and all of them require a restart to properly integrate the new versions of certificates.

Can npm "reach out" of Docker and run a custom post-hook? If not, can it at least do that if I install npm baremetal as well?

TIA.

Custom location vs Access list

I have some proxy host with Custom configuration that contains

location /
...
localtion /websso/SAML2
...

The host is protected with access list that only allows private IP's.

And there is in fact no indication in GUI that the host is actually available across Internet because ACL settings were overridden with custom location settings.

That can be very dangerous.

Can we get at least a hint in GUI?

Whats the difference between different proxy socket types?

Different proxy types are built for different use cases, and the best choice depends on what you need most for speed, stability, trust, consistency, or handling larger workloads.

Quick examples:

  • Datacenter proxies are usually fast and cost-effective.
  • Residential proxies look closer to regular home internet traffic.
  • Mobile proxies use carrier IPs and usually have stronger trust signals.
  • Static proxies keep the same IP, which helps with longer sessions.
  • Rotating proxies switch IPs, which helps with request-heavy tasks.

We broke down the main proxy types and when each one makes sense in the full article: https://www.proxy-cheap.com/blog/proxy-types

How to setup Man-In-The-Middle Proxy to Capture All NPM Traffic

As in the title, I have NPM setup in my homelab, and it works great for the various docker containers I forward too. However, I want to actually see all the network communication going between the various services, both for troubleshooting an issue and just for learning. Currently, I've setup a man-in-the-middle proxy using its own self-signed certs to capture the traffic. It works just fine when I configure my browser to forward to it, but now I want to have NPM just forward everything to it so I can see all the communication. If there isn't an easy global setting I can configure to just have everything sent to the proxy, how can I configure the individual hosts?

Or is all this a feat in futility, and I'm just waiting my time? Thank you
