nginx-proxy sets up a container running nginx and [docker-gen][1]. docker-gen generates reverse proxy configs for nginx and reloads nginx when containers 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:ro 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 ...
|
|
|
|
The containers being proxied must [expose](https://docs.docker.com/reference/run/#expose-incoming-ports) the port to be proxied, either by using the `EXPOSE` directive in their `Dockerfile` or by using the `--expose` flag to `docker run` or `docker create`.
|
|
|
|
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 multiple virtual hosts for a container, you can separate each entry with commas. For example, `foo.bar.com,baz.bar.com,bar.com` and each host will be setup the same.
|
|
|
|
### Wildcard Hosts
|
|
|
|
You can also use wildcards at the beginning and the end of host name, like `*.bar.com` or `foo.bar.*`. Or even a regular expression, which can be very useful in conjunction with a wildcard DNS service like [xip.io](http://xip.io), using `~^foo\.bar\..*\.xip\.io` will match `foo.bar.127.0.0.1.xip.io`, `foo.bar.10.0.2.2.xip.io` and all other given IPs. More information about this topic can be found in the nginx documentation about [`server_names`](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html).
|
|
|
|
### Multiple Networks
|
|
|
|
With the new overlay network, your proxy can be deal with many containers in many networks. Default, if you don't use ```--net``` flag, your proxy will be attached at ```bridge``` default network. You can define your container with ```--net=your_network``` option.
|
|
|
|
If your proxy try to access at a container in an unattached network, the request is successful.
|
|
|
|
#### Connect Another Network
|
|
|
|
In current Docker release (1.9), you can create a container with only one network. To attach others networks, you can use this command.
|
|
```
|
|
docker network connect my_network my_container
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SSL Backends
|
|
|
|
If you would like to connect to your backend using HTTPS instead of HTTP, set `VIRTUAL_PROTO=https` on the backend container.
|
|
|
|
### Default Host
|
|
|
|
To set the default host for nginx use the env var `DEFAULT_HOST=foo.bar.com` for example
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -e DEFAULT_HOST=foo.bar.com -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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:ro \
|
|
-v $(pwd):/etc/docker-gen/templates \
|
|
-t jwilder/docker-gen -notify-sighup nginx -watch -only-exposed /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 ...
|
|
|
|
### SSL Support
|
|
|
|
SSL is supported using single host, wildcard and SNI certificates using naming conventions for
|
|
certificates or optionally specifying a cert name (for SNI) as an environment variable.
|
|
|
|
To enable SSL:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /path/to/certs:/etc/nginx/certs -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
|
|
The contents of `/path/to/certs` should contain the certificates and private keys for any virtual
|
|
hosts in use. The certificate and keys should be named after the virtual host with a `.crt` and
|
|
`.key` extension. For example, a container with `VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com` should have a
|
|
`foo.bar.com.crt` and `foo.bar.com.key` file in the certs directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Diffie-Hellman Groups
|
|
|
|
If you have Diffie-Hellman groups enabled, the files should be named after the virtual host with a
|
|
`dhparam` suffix and `.pem` extension. For example, a container with `VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com`
|
|
should have a `foo.bar.com.dhparam.pem` file in the certs directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Wildcard Certificates
|
|
|
|
Wildcard certificates and keys should be named after the domain name with a `.crt` and `.key` extension.
|
|
For example `VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com` would use cert name `bar.com.crt` and `bar.com.key`.
|
|
|
|
#### SNI
|
|
|
|
If your certificate(s) supports multiple domain names, you can start a container with `CERT_NAME=<name>`
|
|
to identify the certificate to be used. For example, a certificate for `*.foo.com` and `*.bar.com`
|
|
could be named `shared.crt` and `shared.key`. A container running with `VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com`
|
|
and `CERT_NAME=shared` will then use this shared cert.
|
|
|
|
#### How SSL Support Works
|
|
|
|
The SSL cipher configuration is based on [mozilla nginx intermediate profile](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#Nginx) which
|
|
should provide compatibility with clients back to Firefox 1, Chrome 1, IE 7, Opera 5, Safari 1,
|
|
Windows XP IE8, Android 2.3, Java 7. The configuration also enables HSTS, and SSL
|
|
session caches.
|
|
|
|
The behavior for the proxy when port 80 and 443 are exposed is as follows:
|
|
|
|
* If a container has a usable cert, port 80 will redirect to 443 for that container so that HTTPS
|
|
is always preferred when available.
|
|
* If the container does not have a usable cert, a 503 will be returned.
|
|
|
|
Note that in the latter case, a browser may get an connection error as no certificate is available
|
|
to establish a connection. A self-signed or generic cert named `default.crt` and `default.key`
|
|
will allow a client browser to make a SSL connection (likely w/ a warning) and subsequently receive
|
|
a 503.
|
|
|
|
### Basic Authentication Support
|
|
|
|
In order to be able to secure your virtual host, you have to create a file named as its equivalent VIRTUAL_HOST variable on directory
|
|
/etc/nginx/htpasswd/$VIRTUAL_HOST
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
|
|
-v /path/to/htpasswd:/etc/nginx/htpasswd \
|
|
-v /path/to/certs:/etc/nginx/certs \
|
|
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro \
|
|
jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll need apache2-utils on the machine where you plan to create the htpasswd file. Follow these [instructions](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html)
|
|
|
|
### Custom Nginx Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you need to configure Nginx beyond what is possible using environment variables, you can provide custom configuration files on either a proxy-wide or per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` basis.
|
|
|
|
#### Replacing default proxy settings
|
|
|
|
If you want to replace the default proxy settings for the nginx container, add a configuration file at `/etc/nginx/proxy.conf`. A file with the default settings would
|
|
look like this:
|
|
|
|
```Nginx
|
|
# HTTP 1.1 support
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
|
proxy_set_header Connection $proxy_connection;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $proxy_x_forwarded_proto;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
***NOTE***: If you provide this file it will replace the defaults; you may want to check the .tmpl file to make sure you have all of the needed options.
|
|
|
|
#### Proxy-wide
|
|
|
|
To add settings on a proxy-wide basis, add your configuration file under `/etc/nginx/conf.d` using a name ending in `.conf`.
|
|
|
|
This can be done in a derived image by creating the file in a `RUN` command or by `COPY`ing the file into `conf.d`:
|
|
|
|
```Dockerfile
|
|
FROM jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
RUN { \
|
|
echo 'server_tokens off;'; \
|
|
echo 'client_max_body_size 100m;'; \
|
|
} > /etc/nginx/conf.d/my_proxy.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or it can be done by mounting in your custom configuration in your `docker run` command:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /path/to/my_proxy.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/my_proxy.conf:ro -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
|
|
#### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST
|
|
|
|
To add settings on a per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` basis, add your configuration file under `/etc/nginx/vhost.d`. Unlike in the proxy-wide case, which allows multiple config files with any name ending in `.conf`, the per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` file must be named exactly after the `VIRTUAL_HOST`.
|
|
|
|
In order to allow virtual hosts to be dynamically configured as backends are added and removed, it makes the most sense to mount an external directory as `/etc/nginx/vhost.d` as opposed to using derived images or mounting individual configuration files.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a virtual host named `app.example.com`, you could provide a custom configuration for that host as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /path/to/vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d:ro -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
$ { echo 'server_tokens off;'; echo 'client_max_body_size 100m;'; } > /path/to/vhost.d/app.example.com
|
|
|
|
If you are using multiple hostnames for a single container (e.g. `VIRTUAL_HOST=example.com,www.example.com`), the virtual host configuration file must exist for each hostname. If you would like to use the same configuration for multiple virtual host names, you can use a symlink:
|
|
|
|
$ { echo 'server_tokens off;'; echo 'client_max_body_size 100m;'; } > /path/to/vhost.d/www.example.com
|
|
$ ln -s /path/to/vhost.d/www.example.com /path/to/vhost.d/example.com
|
|
|
|
#### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST default configuration
|
|
|
|
If you want most of your virtual hosts to use a default single configuration and then override on a few specific ones, add those settings to the `/etc/nginx/vhost.d/default` file. This file
|
|
will be used on any virtual host which does not have a `/etc/nginx/vhost.d/{VIRTUAL_HOST}` file associated with it.
|
|
|
|
#### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST location configuration
|
|
|
|
To add settings to the "location" block on a per-`VIRTUAL_HOST` basis, add your configuration file under `/etc/nginx/vhost.d`
|
|
just like the previous section except with the suffix `_location`.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have a virtual host named `app.example.com` and you have configured a proxy_cache `my-cache` in another custom file, you could tell it to use a proxy cache as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /path/to/vhost.d:/etc/nginx/vhost.d:ro -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy
|
|
$ { echo 'proxy_cache my-cache;'; echo 'proxy_cache_valid 200 302 60m;'; echo 'proxy_cache_valid 404 1m;' } > /path/to/vhost.d/app.example.com_location
|
|
|
|
If you are using multiple hostnames for a single container (e.g. `VIRTUAL_HOST=example.com,www.example.com`), the virtual host configuration file must exist for each hostname. If you would like to use the same configuration for multiple virtual host names, you can use a symlink:
|
|
|
|
$ { echo 'proxy_cache my-cache;'; echo 'proxy_cache_valid 200 302 60m;'; echo 'proxy_cache_valid 404 1m;' } > /path/to/vhost.d/app.example.com_location
|
|
$ ln -s /path/to/vhost.d/www.example.com /path/to/vhost.d/example.com
|
|
|
|
#### Per-VIRTUAL_HOST location default configuration
|
|
|
|
If you want most of your virtual hosts to use a default single `location` block configuration and then override on a few specific ones, add those settings to the `/etc/nginx/vhost.d/default_location` file. This file
|
|
will be used on any virtual host which does not have a `/etc/nginx/vhost.d/{VIRTUAL_HOST}` file associated with it.
