Builds a basic nginx server that proxies incoming SSL calls to a target host (usually another Docker container).
The following environment variables configure nginx:
DOMAIN: domain in the SSL certificate (default value:www.example.com)TARGET_PORT: target port for the reverse proxy (default value:80)TARGET_HOST: target host for the reverse proxy (default value:proxyapp)TARGET_HOST_HEADER: value to be used as the Host header when sending requests to the target host (defaults to the value of$TARGET_HOST)CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE: maximum size of client uploads (default value:20M)SSL_PORT: port ngnix SSL proxy listens on
The SSL certificate is generated using a own-ROOT-ca that is available in the
directory /etc/nginx/ca, you may use Docker volumes to share the CAs with
other containers, so they can trust the installed certificate.
You can use existing SSL certificates for your DOMAIN
by connecting an volume onto /etc/nginx/certs with following files inside:
key.pem: private key filecert.pem: certificate file
The certificate generator will check on existing key.pem and abort.
You can get the publicly available docker image at the following location: docker-ssl-proxy.
