Docker Reverse Proxy

A Nginx based reverse proxy or one or more sites on one ip address as a docker image.

Buid

sudo docker build -t=andreaskoch/reverse-proxy .

Run

To run the reverse proxy you must link a directory with Nginx virtual host configuration files into the /etc/nginx/conf.d folder of container:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v "$(pwd)/sample-nginx-conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d" andreaskoch/reverse-proxy

Configuration

You can add nginx configuration files to the mapped folder - they will be reloaded every 60 seconds.

A simple virtual host configuration could for example look something like this:

server {
    listen                      80 default;

    location / {
        proxy_buffering         off;
        proxy_pass              http://example.com;
    }
}
