nginx-proxy stack

  1. nginx-proxy acts as reverse proxy for other containers.

  2. acme-companion obtains certificates from letsencrypt used by the revsers proxy.

Both monitor the docker daemon via /var/run/docker.sock for newly created containers. Based on specific environment variables, see example below, the required configuration gets generated.

Examples

Important: Make sure the container is connected to the reverse-proxy_default network.

docker-compose
  whoami:
    image: jwilder/whoami
    container_name: whoami
    environment:
      - VIRTUAL_HOST=whoami.example.com
      - LETSENCRYPT_HOST=whoami.example.com
      - LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=webmaster@example.com
docker run
docker run --rm --name whoami \
           --env VIRTUAL_HOST=whoami.example.com \
           --env LETSENCRYPT_HOST=whoami.example.com \
           --env LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=webmaster@example.com \
           --network reverse-proxy_default \
           jwilder/whoami  

Mailcow

To activate the configuration for mailcow:

  • cd in ./data/conf.d/ and
  • create a hardlink ln ../mailcow_proxy.conf mailcow_proxy.conf

Basic Auth

echo "someusername:"echo "somepassword" openssl passwd -stdin> ./data/htpasswd/www.example.com to enable basic auth for a vhost or use the bash script in ./utils/setup_basic-auth.sh

Notes and pitfalls

When changing domains while moving from development to production, perform a docker system prune prior to restarting the service.
