This is a template of the solution I've used in various forms for years for local development. It's easy, flexable, and gives me a near magical solution for always running HTTP apps through docker-compose with TLS, any DNS name, all on a single port with host-header SNI routing via Traefik proxy.
- You want to use TLS locally in HTTP development
- You would like a single proxy app to all of your containers (microservices, etc.) on 80/443
- You'd like to use domain names for all your compose services, like https://api.bret.lol without touching /etc/hosts
- You'd like a trusted certificate in your browsers for local dev and test of any app hostname (api, www, blog, etc.)
- You'd like this to all happen consistanly across all your dev projects
Inspired by this great Traefik + Compose walkthough
- Decide on your URL scheme like
*.xip.io,*.localhost,*.vcap.me, or even*.bret.lol - Create and install a self-signed wildcard cert for your browser with
cert.sh - Add this
docker-compose.yamlandtraefik.yamlto your projects, and replace the nginx/httpd example compose services with your apps
