Nginx-proxy

Docker-compose for https://github.com/nginx-proxy/nginx-proxy with https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion.

Introduction

This is a wrapper for nginx proxy and acme companion so anyone can easily develop multiple projects locally with vhosts using docker, but also live ready.

Installation notes

• Clone project
• copy .env.example to .env and use id -u <user> and id -g <user> to populate some of the fields.
• change other env variables to your needs
• Create global nginx-proxy network: docker network create nginx-proxy
• Build container using docker-compose up -d

Documentation:

• In conf/custom.conf you can add any custom configuration for nginx.

Example on how to use on containers:

services:
    web:
        ...
        ports:
            - 80
        ...
        environment:
            VIRTUAL_HOST: example.com
            VIRTUAL_PORT: 80
            LETSENCRYPT_HOST: example.com
            LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: mail@example.com
        ...
        networks:
            ...
            - nginx-proxy

You can use multiple domains/subdomains:

services:
    web:
        ...
        build:
            context: ./
            dockerfile: web/Dockerfile
        ports:
            - 80
        ...
        environment:
            VIRTUAL_HOST: example.com,sub.example.com,example2.com
            VIRTUAL_PORT: 80
            LETSENCRYPT_HOST: example.com,sub.example.com,example2.com
            LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: mail@example.com
        ...
        networks:
            ...
            - nginx-proxy

When using self-signed companion you need to add SELF_SIGNED_HOST: "example.com" environment variable as well

• In web/Dockerfile you can include a conf where you define your servers, wildcards are not yet supported by acme companion.
• Self-signed companion should be used only on a local environment.
• To use self-signed companion change COMPOSE_PROFILES to self-signed in .env

Trust self-signed certificates

To avoid the alert "your connection is not private" please check self-signed repo: https://github.com/sebastienheyd/docker-self-signed-proxy-companion

Use certificates with vite server

In order to use certification in an application you need to change ownership to <user>:<group> for folder certs after certificates generation and map certs as read only volume where you want to use certs.

Happy coding!
