Thomas LEVEIL de2f057c10 TESTS: add test for unreachable container 
resulting in an empty `upstream {}` block in the generated nginx config file

nginx-proxy template is not considered when a container is not reachable

Having a container with the VIRTUAL_HOST environment variable set but on a network not reachable from the nginx-proxy container will result in nginx-proxy serving the default nginx welcome page for all requests.

Furthermore, if the nginx-proxy in such state is restarted, the nginx process will crash and the container stops.

In the generated nginx config file, we can notice the presence of an empty upstream {} block.

This can be fixed by merging PR-585.

How to reproduce

  1. a first web container is created on network netA
  2. a second web container is created on network netB
  3. nginx-proxy is created with access to netA only

Erratic behavior

  • nginx serves the default welcome page for all requests to / and error 404 for any other path
  • nginx-container crash on restart

Expected behavior

  • no default nginx welcome page should be served
  • nginx is able to forward requests to containers of netA
  • nginx respond with error 503 for unknown virtual hosts
  • nginx is not able to forward requests to containers of netB and responds with an error
  • nginx should survive restarts
