Let's Nginx

Put browser-valid TLS termination in front of any Dockerized HTTP service with one command.

docker run --detach \
  --net=host \
  --name lets-nginx \
  --env EMAIL=me@email.com \
  --env DOMAIN=mydomain.horse \
  quay.io/patrickheneise/lets-nginx-node

Issues certificates from letsencrypt, installs them in nginx, and schedules a cron job to reissue them monthly.

⚡ To run unattended, this container accepts the letsencrypt terms of service on your behalf. Make sure that the subscriber agreement is acceptable to you before using this container. ⚡

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

1. A place to run Docker containers with a public IP.
2. A domain name with an A record pointing to your cluster.

Usage

Have your node.js server/app/api running on port 3000 on the same machine. Options are:

• -e EMAIL= your email address, used to register with letsencrypt.
• -e DOMAIN= the domain name.
