docker: nginx Installing a reverse proxy / setting a DNS.

Installing the script for docker / docker-compose is located here:   nginx typically binds to port 81.  

docker-compose.yaml file:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    container_name: proxy-manager
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - '80:80' 
      - '81:81'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - ./config.json:/app/config/production.json
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    networks:
      - nginx-proxy

volumes:
  data:
  letsencrypt:

networks:
  nginx-proxy:
    external:
      name: nginx-proxy-network

And now setup your config.json. Note you can see in the following config line - that config.json in the local directory will be mapped and built into /app/config/production.json inside the container.

- ./config.json:/app/config/production.json

config.json

{
  "database": 
  {
    "engine": "mysql",
    "host": "localhost:3306",
    "name": "root",
    "user": "root",
    "password": "somepassword",
    "port": 3306
  }
  "server":
  {
    "proxy_pass" : "http://107.152.41.231:8080",
    "proxy_set_header" : "X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for",
    "proxy_set_header" : "X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme",
    "proxy_set_header" : "X-Real-IP $remote_addr",
    "proxy_set_header" : "Host $http_host",

  }
}

Now you will need to get a mysql working that can accept it at this guide.

To run to make sure it works:

docker-compose up

To run in permanent daemon mode:

docker-compose up -d
