Wildcard SSL in Minutes! | Froxlor Web Hosting Panel (Beginner Podman Guide)

Are you looking for a modern, secure, and containerized way to run the Froxlor web hosting panel? This beginner-friendly screencast shows you exactly how to install Froxlor inside Podman containers using **podman-compose**—a powerful, daemonless alternative to Docker Compose!

We'll walk you through setting up a complete stack, including Nginx as a web server and MariaDB as the database, all defined in a single configuration file.

**What You Will Learn:**
* Setting up the container environment with `podman-compose`.
* Defining separate containers for MariaDB (froxlor-db) and Nginx (froxlor-web).
* Configuring Nginx to handle both HTTP and secure HTTPS traffic, including redirects.
* Generating a **self-signed Wildcard SSL certificate** using OpenSSL for secure testing.
* Building and running your multi-container application with one command (`podman-compose up -d`).
* Finalizing your SSL settings within the Froxlor admin panel.

**Why Podman-Compose?**
