Getting Started

• docker network create nginx
• docker-compose up -d

Attaching backend webservers

To attach a backend webserver to this proxy, it needs to be added to the global nginx overlay network. In the backend docker-compose.yml:

version: 2
networks:
  default:
  nginx:
    external:
      name: nginx

services:
  my-vhost:
    image: my-image
    networks:
      - default
      - nginx
    ports:
      - 8080
    environment:
      - VIRTUAL_PORT=8080
      - VIRTUAL_HOST=my-vhost.localhost

Origin

This project is based on jwilder/nginx-proxy, but designed to not have any internal virtual hosts. Instead, those are connected via an external overlay network. This project is meant to be installed once on a host.

The original jwilder repository is MIT licensed, so this one is as well.
