hairmare/nginx-proxy-hostlist repository overview

⁠nginx proxy web discovery

A simple companion service to jwilder/nginx-proxy⁠ that publishes a list of all running services behind the proxy as a simple JSON micro service.

This consists of an alpine based docker-gen container that generates a list of hosts and an nginx machine that serves those to the world.

See the docker-compose.yml for how this is intended to be set up. You will certainly will want to change the VIRTUAL_HOST entry in the file to match you deploy.

⁠Run from Docker Hub

docker-compose up -d

⁠Build and run locally

docker-compose -f dev.yml build
docker-compose -f dev.yml up -d
