nginx-proxy sets up a container running nginx and [docker-gen][1]. docker-gen generate reverse proxy configs for nginx and reloads nginx when containers they are started and stopped.
|
|
|
|
See [Automated Nginx Reverse Proxy for Docker][2] for why you might want to use this.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
To run it:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
|
|
Then start any containers you want proxied with an env var `VIRTUAL_HOST=subdomain.youdomain.com`
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com ...
|
|
|
|
Provided your DNS is setup to forward foo.bar.com to the a host running nginx-proxy, the request will be routed to a container with the VIRTUAL_HOST env var set.
|
|
|
|
### Multiple Ports
|
|
|
|
If your container exposes multiple ports, nginx-proxy will default to the service running on port 80. If you need to specify a different port, you can set a VIRTUAL_PORT env var to select a different one. If your container only exposes one port and it has a VIRTUAL_HOST env var set, that port will be selected.

|
### Multiple Hosts
|
|
|
|
If you need to support multipe virtual hosts for a container, you can separate each enty with commas. For example, `foo.bar.com,baz.bar.com,bar.com` and each host will be setup the same.
|
|
|
|
### Separate Containers
|
|
|
|
nginx-proxy can also be run as two separate containers using the [jwilder/docker-gen](https://index.docker.io/u/jwilder/docker-gen/)
|
|
image and the official [nginx](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/nginx/) image.
|
|
|
|
You may want to do this to prevent having the docker socket bound to a publicly exposed container service.
|
|
|
|
To run nginx proxy as a separate container you'll need to have [nginx.tmpl](https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy/blob/master/nginx.tmpl) on your host system.
|
|
|
|
First start nginx with a volume:
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name nginx -v /tmp/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d -t nginx
|
|
|
|
Then start the docker-gen container with the shared volume and template:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker run --volumes-from nginx \
|
|
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock \
|
|
-v $(pwd):/etc/docker-gen/templates \
|
|
-t docker-gen -notify-sighup nginx -watch --only-published /etc/docker-gen/templates/nginx.tmpl /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, start your containers with `VIRTUAL_HOST` environment variables.
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com ...
|
