Launcher for nginx-proxy

Use docker-compose to launch a network named "public_network" that will route traffic to containers by VIRTUAL_HOST name.

Requires docker-compose 3.5+

This project is a minimum configuration launcher for the excellent combination of https://hub.docker.com/r/jwilder/nginx-proxy/ and https://hub.docker.com/r/jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion/

You can add nginx configuration options to proxy.conf.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/dfletcher/nginx-proxy
$ cd nginx-proxy
$ docker-compose up -d

Project docker-compose.yml

A docker-compose.yml file using nginx-proxy might look something like this:

version: '3.5'

services:

    web:
        build:
            context: .
        networks:
            - public_network
            - private_network
        volumes:
            - ./:/app
        environment:
            - VIRTUAL_HOST=website.com
            - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=website.com

    mysqldb:
        image: mariadb
        networks:
            - private_network
        command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
        restart: always

networks:
    public_network:
        external:
            name: public_network
    private_network:
        driver: bridge

For local development, invent a domain name that does not exist and use that value for VIRTUAL_HOST. Also put the newly invented domain name in your local system hosts file.
