Docker Hosting with Automatic SSL Certificate Generation for Nginx-Proxy

based on https://github.com/nginx-proxy/acme-companion

This repo contains the docker-compose.yml files used to set up my vServer to host multiple docker containers all with SSL. A complete documentation can be found in the original repo.

Setting up

First you need to create a docker network with the following command:

    docker network create nginx_network

Before you can start the containers with

    docker-compose up --build -d

Setting up docker-compose.yml file

In order to serve a container to a specified domain, follow those steps. The sub folder ./grafana/ contains a simple Grafana setup.

  1. Change your DNS settings to point the domain to your server

  2. Add the following lines the end of your docker-compose.yml:

     networks:
     nginx_network:
         external:
             name: nginx_network

  3. For each service add the following settings:

     environment:
   VIRTUAL_HOST: monitoring.emeal.ch # your domain name
   LETSENCRYPT_HOST: monitoring.emeal.ch # your domain name
   LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: info@emeal.ch # a valid mail address
 networks:
   - nginx_network
