Description

Hello! I have been using this docker for a while now. It is truly great. There could be two native integrations that should be relatively straightforward. NGINX supports load balancing to servers natively via round robin, health, etc. Right now, if I want to do load balancing, I have to forward traffic to a bare NGINX docker. Is there a way to add native GUI support for load balancing within NginxProxyManager?

Simple Nginx config for load balancing:

upstream {
server hostname:port;
server url;

}

server {

listen 80;
server_name <url to be balanced>;




location / {
    proxy_pass http://<name>;
}

}

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the existing proxy-host GUI and the generated NGINX configuration, then compare them with the supplied upstream/server example. Done should be defined as a GUI flow that produces and validates the requested load-balancing configuration.
