Nginx Proxy Manager 2.14 Released: What’s New and What You Need to Know

Nginx Proxy Manager, the widely adopted web-based reverse proxy management tool for Nginx, has officially launched version 2.14, bringing a mix of new capabilities, critical fixes, and architectural updates that are sure to impact both existing users and newcomers alike.

This latest release introduces several notable changes, starting with a significant shift in hardware support. The development team has discontinued the building of images for armv7/armhf systems—commonly found in 32-bit ARM devices. For users operating on such hardware, this means they will either need to remain on a previous release or transition to a supported architecture such as arm64. While this may cause inconvenience for some, it aligns with broader industry trends toward 64-bit computing and allows the project to focus on optimizing performance for modern architectures.

On the feature front, version 2.14 introduces a powerful new option within the advanced proxy host settings: “Trust Upstream Forwarded Proto Headers.” This addition is particularly valuable for environments where Nginx Proxy Manager sits behind another reverse proxy or load balancer. By allowing administrators to explicitly trust forwarded protocol headers, this feature ensures more accurate detection of client protocols (HTTP vs HTTPS), which is critical for proper SSL handling and secure routing.

Another important fix addresses a persistent bug related to two-factor authentication (2FA). Previously, some users encountered difficulties when attempting to disable 2FA, leading to confusion and potential lockouts. This issue has now been resolved, streamlining account management and improving overall user experience.

SSL certificate management has also seen improvements. A bug that occasionally prevented the successful upload of custom SSL certificates has been fixed, ensuring greater reliability when manually providing certificates—an essential feature for users managing internal or specialized domains.

Expanding its automation capabilities, Nginx Proxy Manager 2.14 adds support for ArvanCloud DNS as a new DNS provider plugin. This integration allows users of ArvanCloud’s DNS service to seamlessly incorporate it into their certificate automation workflows, reducing manual intervention and accelerating deployment times for SSL certificates.

For those looking to dive deeper into the specifics, the full changelog is available on the project’s GitHub releases page. And if you’re new to Nginx Proxy Manager or need a refresher on deployment, a comprehensive step-by-step guide is available to walk you through the setup process from start to finish.

With these updates, Nginx Proxy Manager continues to solidify its position as a go-to solution for managing reverse proxies with ease, flexibility, and security.
