Nginx HTTPS Terminator

Simple container for terminating SSL/TSL for an application.

Getting Started

Required environment variables:

• UPSTREAM - A host and port without protocol (for example 192.0.2.64:3000)

Optional environment variables:

• SUBJ - The subject line used when generating a self signed certificate.
• SERVER_NAME - Added in nginx as the server_name directive and used in the subject line if generating a self signed certificate and SUBJ is not provided.

The image looks for the certificate and private key at /etc/nginx/certs/server.crt and /etc/nginx/certs/server.key respectively. Set up a volume with the server.crt and server.key or individual volumes like below:

docker run \
      --name https-term \
      -v /some/host/some.crt:/etc/nginx/certs/server.crt \
      -v /some/host/some.key:/etc/nginx/certs/server.key \
      -e UPSTREAM=www.google.com \
      ssipos90/nginx-https-terminator

Not specifying either of the files, generates self signed certificates:

docker run \
      --name https-term \
      -e UPSTREAM=www.google.com \
      ssipos90/nginx-https-terminator
