I'm trying to send a subdomain to home assistant (home.domainman.com), and have some previous experience with Nginx Proxy Manager. I was curious if I need to use Let's Encrypt in addition or not, or what the recommended way to deal with this is.
#Do I need both Nginx Proxy Manager and Let's Encrypt for a subdomain?

NPM has LE cert management built in. A separate add-on would not be needed.

So this will suffice.
I'm not able to find the documentation I need to correctly set it up. If using a DNS challenge in the TLS certificate, I don't need to port forward? What forwarding do I need to do from my domain host then?
As in:
- I have my domain (home.domainman.com) pointing to my IP-address with an A-record.
- nginx is checking ports 80 and 443.
- nginx proxy manager has set up the subdomain (home.domainman.com) to route to https://10.0.0.56:8123.
- no ports are opened

ports 80 and 443 should be forwarded to the IP address of NPM

I did attempt to forward 443 to 443, but it is giving me 502 Bad Gateway. Any idea as to why?

Have you checked if your WAN shows 443 and 80 "open"? you can go here and check https://portchecker.co/. Otherwise, Is NPM running on your home assistant or on a docker or vm?

Both 80 and 443 are open. NPM is running through HA, yes.
