nginx-ssl

A simple Docker image for running nginx with SSL. Intended to be used in conjunction with other applications and/or services.

This repository demonstrates the process of using a Dockerfile to create a Docker container that is then run on a machine without Docker (using systemd-nspawn).

1. Create SSL certificate:

$ openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout nginx.key -out nginx.csr
$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout nginx.key -out nginx.crt
$ openssl dhparam -out dhparam.pem 2048

Use your domain/subdomain as the "Common name" (FQDN). Do not use a challenge password. All other fields are optional.

2. Update the server_name field in nginx.conf to use your domain/subdomain.

3. Update the proxy_pass field to point to the application you wish to serve.
