Nginx Reverse Proxy

This is a super simple nginx setup that is pre-configured to allow for a simple reverse-proxy setup without the need for target services to be running in linked containers.

Usage

Just drop this in place of nginx and set the following:

• Env NGINX_PORT - The host listening port
• Env NGINX_HOST - The target service you want to reverse-proxy to

Sample docker-compose.yml - This will reverse-proxy http://192.168.0.100:3000 on the host's port 8080:

version: '2'
services:
  nginx:
    image: james9074/nginx-reverse-proxy
    environment:
      NGINX_PORT: '8080'
      NGINX_HOST: http://192.168.0.100:3000
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true

If you need to extend the nginx conf you can volume mount your own like so (copy the one from this repo first):

    volumes:
        - ./default.conf.template:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf.template
