docker-ssl-proxy

Builds a basic nginx server that proxies incoming SSL calls to a target host (usually another Docker container).

Environment variables

The following environment variables configure nginx:

• DOMAIN: domain in the SSL certificate (default value: www.example.com)
• TARGET_PORT: target port for the reverse proxy (default value: 80)
• TARGET_HOST: target host for the reverse proxy (default value: proxyapp)
• CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE: maximum size of client uploads (default value: 20M)

Certificates and CA location

The SSL certificate is generated using a own-ROOT-ca that is available in the directory /etc/nginx/ca, you may use Docker volumes to share the CAs with other containers, so they can trust the installed certificate.
