bigmassa/nginx-proxy repository overview

⁠NGINX PROXY

Nginx proxy container that uses env variables to substitute the nginx.conf and default.conf

⁠Example Usage

Proxies traffic from nginx service to the app service

version: '3'

services:
  app:
    image: nginx:alpine
  nginx:
    image: bigmassa/nginx-proxy
    environment:
    - CLIENT_MAX_BODY_SIZE=75M
    - PROXY_HOST=app
    - PROXY_PORT=80
    - SERVER_NAME=localhost
    - WORKER_CONNECTIONS=2048
    - WORKER_PROCESSES=auto
    depends_on:
    - app
    ports:
    - "80:80"

Then go to http://localhost/⁠

⁠Volumes

mount volumes into the folder /www these will be available from the root url eg:

version: '3'

services:
  app:
    image: nginx:alpine
  nginx:
    ...
    volumes:
    - ./static:/www/static
    ...

the files will then be available like http://localhost/static/.... Nginx will try these files before proxying off to the upstream server.
