Immich freezing when I enable websockets in Nginx Proxy Manager

I have Immich set up and working wonderfully, except for the bottom-left corner saying "Server Offline" and "Unknown". A quick search tells me that's due to websockets not being enabled for Immich in NPM. However, when I flip that on in NPM, Immich stops loading properly: nothing responds when I click, albums and photo thumbnails don't load, and Firefox tells me "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up your browser, stop this page.", so the page is effectively crashing. Switching websockets back to "off" resolves the problem immediately.

Can anyone point me to the correct setup instructions for NPM? I've tried mirroring a few fixes I've found for generic nginx, but to no avail.

Immich version 2.2.2 (currently updating)

Additional info:
* Immich is running on Unraid, with the docker compose stack (the supported method)
* If NPM has websockets enabled, even accessing immich directly via IP address + port is broken (how does that even happen?!)
