Description

I just wasted more than one hour trying to update my proxies.

I kept getting the same error again and again and again. Could not delete file. This is the absolutely basic functionality that should be offered by the nginx proxy manager right? I would expect a proxy manager to be able to edit the proxies.

But it basically can't do this basic thing. This added to the even worse handling of the SSL certificates led me to the conclusion that I need a better solution.

So to anyone reading this: look for other solutions: caddy, traefik, whatever. Do not waste time here.

And to the developers, please do the world a favor and archive this project.

Research direction

Start by reproducing proxy editing with the jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:2.11.1 Docker image and review the provided Nginx Proxy Manager logs around deletion of /data/nginx/proxy_host/14.conf. The issue names no source files or tests; completion would require identifying why the proxy configuration deletion reports ENOENT and confirming that editing a proxy succeeds.
