Hi

Stock nginx built into Synology DSM won’t cut it, so I decided to install Nginx Proxy Manager. Before doing so, I created a macvlan and assigned the NPM container to use the assigned IP. Once install is finished, and I try to launch NPM, it fails to load. I tried the same install without macvlan, and it works and loads just fine. I have installed many other containers on macvlan, so I know what I am doing and have the knowledge and experience, but I have never run into this before where there seems to be a conflict I am not aware of.

Help? Anyone?

    I think I am about 99% of the way there. Seems like I got it mostly figured out, but I do have a couple questions for you. And thanks again for your time, you have no idea how much I appreciate you and your assistance in this.

    #1. After creating the docker network, you suggest creating the macvlan and the command for creating the macvlan involes ‘macvlan0’. I cannot use macvlan0 and instead am forced to use macvlan1 because macvlan0 is taken by the docker network we created just before creating the macvlan. Seems to be a conflict. I checked and there’s nothing else conflicting other than the already created macvlan0 from the step before.

    #2. After completing the steps, I can access my NAS as usual, the Nginx proxy manager is accessible via it’s macvlan IP, but I can also connect to the NAS and the Nginx from the auxillary host IP. What’s the deal with that?

    #3. Once all is said and done. Should my Nginx be connected to both the bridge network and the new macvlan or just the macvlan? It’s always connected to the bridge by default, but when I add the container to the new macvlan, am I supposed to disconnect it from the bridge?
