Installation

1. Install docker.

2. Download automated build from public
   docker hub registry:

   docker pull foliea/nginx-proxy

Usage

docker run -e WEB_URL="http://<docker host ip>:3000" \
           -e WS_URL="http://<docker host ip>:8080" \
           -d -p 80:80 foliea/nginx-proxy

You can also mount a volume with ssl certficates and use ssl:

docker run -e WEB_URL="http://<docker host ip>:3000" \
           -e WS_URL="http://<docker host ip>:8080" \
           -e SSL=1 \
           -v <your certs directory>:/certs \
           -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 foliea/nginx-proxy

The path your are mounting must have both cert.pem and key.pem
certificate files inside.

You can also use Docker links instead of setting manually WEB_URL and
WS_URL:

docker run --link="container1:web" \
           --link="container2:ws" \
           -d -p 80:80 foliea/nginx-proxy

You must link to containers with at least one port exposed.
