Create our Docker Container
Create a nginx reverse proxy by issuing the following command:
...
This will create a reverse proxy running on the host network.
Define our Nginx Configuration Files
In the conf folder(mapped to sites-enabled) we defined in our docker command we will add a configuration like the following:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
server {
listen 80;
server_name wiki wiki.jmehan.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.60:8090/;
}
}
|
Adding SSL Support (not certbot)
If we want to terminate an SSL connection at our proxy, we can generate an SSL cert and configure it in nginx.
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
server {
listen 8443 ssl;
#server_name svn svn.jmehan.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certificates/svn/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certificates/svn/key.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.60:9080/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}
} |
Adding Basic Authentication
You may need to add apache2-utils to your nginx docker container using the following cmd:
...
| Code Block |
|---|
server {
server_name kibana kibana.jmehan.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.60:5601/;
auth_basic "Administrator's Area";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/conf.d/htpasswd;
}
} |
Customized Dockerfile
The following Dockerfile adds certbot and apache2-utils to our nginx-reverse-proxy image.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
FROM lerenn/nginx-reverse-proxy RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y wget RUN apt-get install -y apache2-utils RUN wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto RUN chmod +x certbot-auto RUN ./certbot-auto -n --install-only |
