All https except two URLs?

[asmaloney]

I'm using this in combination with docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion to use Let's Encrypt SSL certs and it's working great. Easy to set up and get going.

I have a couple of URLs that have to remain http though. They are hard-coded into some software that can't be changed.

I've been looking at the nginx config docs and the nginx.tmpl file, but I don't see a way to do this. The listen 80 block send everything to https so there's no opportunity to deal with the URLs I want.

Am I reading that correctly? Is there some nginx magic I can use in one of the vhosts files included in the ssl server block to make this work?

I think you should use the solution where you provide your own template to docker-gen 👍

Thanks Kevin. I'll take a look. I was hoping to get away with not having to modify the template somehow...

@asmaloney I understand, but it is fairly straigtforward! Remove that line for the config and the mount that into the container instead, and then it works perfect for you! 😄

@kevinsimper It's not about how easy it is to make it work - it's about having Yet Another Thing to maintain.

Once I modify that template I have to monitor changes to the nginx-proxy version and apply them to mine. That doesn't sound so bad, but I already have 1001 other things to keep track of (and I don't do ops full time), so if I can figure out a way to use it as is, I'd prefer to do that.

i think your problem is too specific for this project to support your case, especial when the solution is so easy for you to archive.
