nginx-proxy-manager: Bad Gateway at Admin Page: production.json cannot be read

I have been trying for days to get this to function with SSL. After a couple days it finally worked, but I eventually got “internal error” when trying to obtain an SSL for one of the proxies. I then tried to reinstall, but now I get “Bad Gateway” when trying to login to the admin portal.

Portainer shows the desktop_app_1 container is unhealthy and shows an error of “parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 7 NOT OK”.

Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0 Ubuntu LTS 18.04 docker-compose version 1.25.4, build 8d51620a

Please help. I have a domain I paid for that also has an SSL through dnsimple.

After a low of troubles someone suggested the following config. The difference is that is uses another container for the database that supports arm and I think that the important thing is the is uses version 2 instead of 3.

version: "2"
services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: always
    ports:
      # Public HTTP Port:
      - '80:80'
      # Public HTTPS Port:
      - '443:443'
      # Admin Web Port:
      - '81:81'
    environment:
      # These are the settings to access your db
      DB_MYSQL_HOST: "db"
      DB_MYSQL_PORT: 3306
      DB_MYSQL_USER: "npm"
      DB_MYSQL_PASSWORD: "npm"
      DB_MYSQL_NAME: "npm"
      DISABLE_IPV6: 'true'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    depends_on:
      - db
  db:
    image: yobasystems/alpine-mariadb:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'npm'
      MYSQL_DATABASE: 'npm'
      MYSQL_USER: 'npm'
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: 'npm'
    volumes:
      - ./data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

Fixed my by changing the db host from “db” to the local ip.

@ anselal Thank you so much! After a few attempts to modify this, this worked. Thank you and everybody for figuring this out!

docker-compose up -d created a directory config.json/ instead of a file. stop containers sudo rm -r config.json directory create config.json file with: { “database”: { “engine”: “mysql”, “host”: “db”, “name”: “npm”, “user”: “npm”, “password”: “npm”, “port”: 3306 } }
