docker-nginx-proxy

Boilerplate for Nginx-proxy server for a Docker container

Reference: https://blog.ssdnodes.com/blog/host-multiple-websites-docker-nginx/

Prerequisites:

Install Docker Desktop for Mac - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/

Install Brew Open SSL (for self signed ssl certs)

$ brew install openssl

Set up Nginx-proxy

1. Clone the repository into an empty folder nginx-proxy/

git clone [email protected]:pango-studio/docker-nginx-proxy.git .

2. Create the required folders

mkdir certs

3. Run docker-compose

$ docker-compose up -d

.. Your network is up!

Set up self signed certs

In the nginx-proxy folder add a /certs folder where the self-signed certs can be housed

Create certs

Create the relevant certs for EACH local dev site via terminal in the /certs folder. Use the command below to do this remembering to change the domains to your local dev domain:

openssl req
-newkey rsa:2048
-x509
-nodes
-keyout example.local.key
-new
-out example.local.crt
-subj /CN=example.local
-reqexts SAN
-extensions SAN
-config <(cat /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf
<(printf '[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:example.local'))
-sha256
-days 3650

Mark as trusted

NB: You need to add the new .crt to your System keychain and mark as trusted.

.. Your certs are set up!

Allow the local domains to map to your local IP address

You need to edit your /etc/hosts file to add the local mappings of custom dev urls In terminal go to the etc directory:

$ cd /private/etc $ sudo vim hosts

Add your new local domains like lms.local & example.local below

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 example.local
127.0.0.1 lms.local

.. your local domains are mapped
